Making New Zealand's Pop Renaissance

Meer over het boek

The book explores how New Zealand's pop music renaissance in the early 2000s was influenced by state policies that created market opportunities for musicians. Through public-private partnerships and collaboration with music industry institutions, the government played a crucial role in incentivizing cultural production. This case study highlights the ways in which post-neoliberal states can effectively guide and coordinate popular culture towards market exchange, offering valuable insights into the intersection of state intervention and the music industry.
