What do we need to know about how the creative economy can deliver equitable, just and sustainable development in Brazil and the UK?
We have undertaken an extensive analysis of cultural policy in Brazil and the UK to understand the main debates in both countries and ensure that the Relative Values methodology builds on the opportunities and challenges facing policy makers. In the literature review, bulletins and policy briefings below we aim to capture our findings.
This literature review looks to understand developments in UK cultural policy between 1919 and 2020, and focuses on three questions: What defines the UK’s cultural policy model? How have policies been implemented and evolved over this period of time? Who enacts UK cultural policy?

This Bulletin examines the policy discourse of successive Ministers of Culture in Brazil between 2003 and 2016, and looks at the influence UK cultural policy has had on Brazil’s approach.
This bulletin analyses the policies of Arts Council England and the Brazilian Government and their investment in the creative sector between 2008 and 2019. Specifically, it asks: What is each country’s cultural policy? How does it operate? What reporting data is available? How are the resources allocated in different regions? The bulletin ends with a comparative analysis of the extent to which each country’s funding mechanism succeeds in delivering its policy aims and of the challenges ahead.
The response to the global COVID-19 pandemic – including stay-at-home orders and social distancing – wreaked havoc on the world economy. The creative and cultural sectors that rely on public attendance were particularly hard hit. This bulletin asks: How was the labour market in the cultural industries affected by COVID-19 in Brazil and the UK? What measures were taken by the respective governments to alleviate the impact of the pandemic on the creative and cultural sectors, and what are their main impacts so far?
