Comparing the 2000-2006 and the 2007-2013 cycles of structural funds programming, it is relatively easy to notice a shift from a tourism-centered to a cultural industry centered perspective of the role of cultural and creative production in fostering economic development (CSES, 2010). This shift cle ...
