Culture in Policy Making: The Symbolic Universes of Social Action: The Future of European Societies

Salvatore, Sergio; Fini, Viviana; Mannarini, Terri; Valsiner, Jaan; Veltri, Giuseppe Alessandro

This book investigates whether, how and where the cultural milieu of European societies has changed as a result of the socio-economics crisis. To do so, it adopts a psycho-cultural approach, which views the cultural milieu as a set of meanings, placing the generalized image social actors have of themselves, the world, events and their relationships in the context of the socio-political and institutional environment, including policies. By analyzing the changes in cultural milieu and social identity, the book develops strategic and methodological guidelines for the design of post-crisis policies, providing a concept of how the cultural dynamics are associated with certain individual characteristics and specific socio-economic phenomena.
