La politique culturelle en Suède - Paris : IIAP, avril/juin 1982
Durint the '70's sweden adopted a genuine cultural policy evolving along the following main criteria: major opportunities for self-expression, creative and community development, decentralization and financial efforts in favour of the underprivileged. Since State finance does not reach the local level, the implementation of such a policy remained within the exclusive terms of reference of local government. This accounts forwide discrepancies among boroughs. The 80ties witness a cut in public expenditure with serious effects on cultural policy which had not yet reached its full development and still lacked strong local structures. Therefore, future cultural policy is as yet uncertain. It will largely depend on societal options taken: privatization and commercialization or cultural welfare and creativity
