Violencia normalizada
This article explores how gender norms and hegemonic masculinity contribute to the normalization of street sexual harassment in Panama, shaping the ways women experience and navigate these encounters. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, including a literature review, a survey conducted in the metropolitan area of Panama City, and semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that street sexual harassment is a pervasive and socially acce…
The sandbox programme in Panama
Sandbox is a non-accredited training programme in the performing arts and digital technologies for young people in four blighted neighbourhoods in Panama. In this paper, I reflect on my role in the design of this programme, how it was later implemented and whether it contributed to processes of economic development. To guide this reflection, I use a social capacities framework, where economic development is seen as a set of dynamics that enhances…
The Pretty Face of Inequality
If arts attendance is used to activate social comparison processes that strengthen group boundaries, it could help maintain or even increase conflict between different social groups as they are seen as opportunities to openly celebrate that resources are unequally shared in society. This article explores whether levels of education, income and occupation affect the likelihood of attending artistic events in Panama, one of the most unequal countri…
Arts, Government and Community Revitalization
First published in 1999, this book goes beyond the standard economic tools used to evaluate the effectiveness of arts in redevelopment processes. It assumes that the sectors involved in the process of arts-led community revitalization (artists, non-profit organizations, government and for-profit firms) act upon the economic structure and initiate a resurgence path. This assumption allows us to study the political and economic interaction among th…
Casco Viejo Walks
I explore how Panamanian homosexuals resist constant discrimination by navigating between local solutions and the ready-made approaches of the so-called Pink Imperialism from Europe and the United States. I illustrate this by reflecting on my own creative work as a playwright and novelist. I discuss how my texts have helped me alleviate the pain created by insile [internal exile] and reflect on how my own responses to sexual discrimination in Pan…
The Impact of Devolution on Organizational Effectiveness
Although the foundations of President Bush’s faith-based initiative could be traced back at least to Colonial times, the re-packaging of this idea has raised concerns about the role of the federal government in the affairs of faith based organizations, the professionalization of social services, rent seeking, and the crowding out of private funding. This paper aims to examine the local implications of decentralizing the provision of social servic…

Experts in search of expert power
For over 30 years, the prevailing narrative about evidence-based cultural policy has focused on the lack of valid datasets. After considerable investment in developing the sector's research infrastructure in the past decade, evidence continues to play a symbolic role in English cultural policy. This article aims to contribute to our understanding of whether and how evidence plays a role in policy making. It assumes that evidence by itself does no…
Private Sector Policy for the Arts”
This paper will review one of the policy tools outlined by both A&B and DCMS: matching grants. One could argue that this review is unnecessary. After all, the ultimate test in policy-making is whether a policy proposal is implemented. In that respect, A&B's proposal was proven right. What remains unclear is whether this is a case of a “garbage can” approach to policy-making. Did DCMS adopt A&B's matching grants because they were there for the tak…
Some more unequal than others
This article explores whether and how organizational infrastructure and attitudes at museums, libraries and archives in England affect their propensity to diversify financing sources. After more than 50 years of policies and programmes to support funding diversification in the UK cultural sector, research suggests the sector remains dependent on public funding and relatively reluctant to explore new ways of exploiting their assets. Policies direc…
Economic growth, government expenditure and income
We explore the relationship between economic growth, government expenditure and other sources of income for museums and libraries in England. Using data from 1981/82 to 2008/09, we investigate whether funding patterns in these two sectors behave differently in response to changes in economic growth. We also explore whether and how these responses are influenced by factors such as the type of local authority in which these organisations operate. T…
Lifelong learning in public libraries in 12 European Union countries
Public libraries in Europe have supported lifelong learning for the past 500 years. Since the Lisbon Strategy emphasized the role of lifelong learning in economic policy, public libraries have been repositioning their services to respond to this new context. In some cases, these roles are undertaken with limited legislative or strategic changes and stagnant levels of funding. As a result, the sector receives little recognition of its role in life…
Developing a model to articulate the impact of museums and galleries
Previous research and evaluation work assessing the value and impact of museums and galleries suggests that the sector would not benefit from the development of a new model to articulate its impact upon individuals and wider society. Instead, we need for academics, policy makers and practitioners to jointly invest their reputation, resources and know-how in: (1) settling the unavoidable differences in argot that comes with inter-disciplinary work…
Patterns of inequality in private funding of culture across the UK
By calculating an additively decomposable inequality measure following the lines of Shorrocks (1980; see Econometrica, 48(3)) we are able to evaluate regional disparities in private funding of cultural enterprises in the UK in a novel way. The country-wide index of inequality separates funding differences across regions from disparities within regions. Using data on private investment in UK cultural organisations, we consider three datasets: the …
Measuring the Size and Concentration of Business Funding of Culture in the UK
In the past few years, UK public bodies have increased their calls for cultural leaders to diversify even further their funding sources and exploit the dynamics of the mixed-economy. So far only major cultural organisations in London have been able to successfully diversify their funding portfolio. A drop in public funding is likely to make it even more challenging for a large proportion of cultural organisations to close their income gap. To ens…

Modelling the heritage world
The economic literature on heritage has primarily analysed the impact of building preservation on real‐estate values and community redevelopment. Recently, economists have expanded their study on heritage to include everything from historic buildings and antiques to museums and monuments. However, this research ignores the political and legal characteristics of heritage and is used primarily to justify government expenditures on heritage. The eco…
