Abstract Details

2009, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Art Education.
This dissertation investigates ways to increase city competitiveness through artsand culture from a network perspective. Along with the rise of the knowledge economy, cities face competition to achieve a better position for attracting and retaining talented professionals, called the creative class. Since the creative class tends to move in places known as thriving arts scenes, entertainment opportunities, and open environment, arts and culture have become a significant policy issue. In this context, this dissertation proposes that in order to increase city competitiveness, a city needs to create a favorable environment that can improve cultural capacity. Drawing on the literature that emphasizes networks in the production- and policy support system as the key for innovation capacity, this dissertation suggests that networks among actors who are involved in arts and culture can enhance the cultural capacity of a city. By using concepts and techniques of Social Network Analysis, this dissertation provides a theoretical and methodological framework that assesses the cultural capacity of a city. A preliminary explanatory case study of networks among actors in the cultural ecosystem in Columbus, Ohio is provided.
