State of the Arts: the use of art as state policy

Abstract Details

2004, Bachelor of Science, Miami University, College of Arts and Sciences - Diplomacy and Foreign Affairs.
At times when the state is most unstable, it will initiate any program or policy that will try to reestablish that stability. This includes artistic initiatives, an alternative to other more openly forceful policies. Art is not merely a byproduct of a culture within an established state, but can be produced, encouraged, and used by that state as a mechanism in order to meet its own objectives. This study will look at the pattern in which states use art. Designed as an overview of the topic, this study will lay out critical and theoretical foundations, setting up the process for future studies that may take a more in depth and specified look at the subject. By first setting specific definitions to the key concepts of state and art, this study will outline the basic ways in which these concepts are connected. These theories will then be further explained, at times using specific examples to illustrate the argument. And finally, the theories will be used to evaluate two different cases in order to show their applicability.
