Making New Zealand's Pop Renaissance

Meer over het boek

The book explores how state policies in New Zealand during the early 2000s facilitated a pop music renaissance by creating market opportunities for musicians. Through public-private partnerships and collaboration with established music industry institutions, the state played a crucial role in shaping the music scene. It serves as a case study on how 'after neo-liberal' governments can influence popular culture and incentivize cultural production, steering it towards market exchange.
