Written by Rod Fisher, and commissioned by LabforCulture, this study provides insights about attitudes to, and the potential for, a cultural dimension to the EU's external policies.
This is the second part of a preliminary examination to ascertain whether there is sufficient interest in Member States for the development of a coherent cultural dimension to EU external policies. It builds on an initial literature survey A Cultural Component as an integral part of the EU's Foreign Policy? Its task has been to verify whether the reasonably encouraging findings that emerged from the first study were true in practice, by interrogating stakeholders in six diverse EU countries: Denmark, France, Latvia, Poland, Portugal and the UK.
