Routledge - Labour, Policy, and Ideology in East Asian Creative Industries

Explore the complex dynamics of the cultural sector with Labour, Policy, and Ideology in East Asian Creative Industries. Published by Routledge, this book examines the shifting experiences of culture industry workers and consumer publics throughout East Asia over the last ten years. For more than two decades, creative industries have acted as a primary driver for global economic transformation and a method to address de-industrialization. This text looks at how these industries serve as a means for projecting national soft power. The research covers essential regional players, including the former Tiger Economies of South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, alongside detailed studies of Japan and China. This volume is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of labor, policy, and economic change within the creative sectors of East Asia. It provides a deep look into how different industries function and the social implications for the people working within them.
