The article deals with the philosophical questions of creative economy. Appealing to J. Howkins, R. Florida and other theorists of creative economy, the author analyses such aspects of creative economy as the need for enterprise, obsession by consuming, fusion of labour and leisure, integrality of the activities, striving for individual autonomy and privacy. The response to economical changes and social challenges could be creativeness that emerges in certain social and economical environment. The author pays attention to legal aspects of creative economy and analyses the role of technologies in the creative society. The author also focuses on the contradictory aspect of the copyright and patent right in creative economy. By expressing the creators’ right to just reward copyright restricts creative communication while patent right expresses aspirations to privatize social property, including nature. The relations between technologies and creative economy refer to social changes, too. Firstly, economic relations could be treated as social technologies. Secondly, technologies (especially e-technologies) are the base of creative industries that ensure economical growth. Thirdly, technologies are indispensable to the consuming that both demands new products and generates the very economy. Santrauka Straipsnyje nagrinėjami kūrybos ekonomikos filosofiniai klausimai. Apeliuodamas į J. Howkinsą, R. Floridą ir kitus kūrybos ekonomikos teoretikus, autorius nagrinėja tokius kūrybos ekonomikos aspektus, kaip verslumo reikmė, vartojimo manija, darbo ir laisvalaikio susiliejimas, veiklų integralumas, individualios autonomijos ir privatumo siekis. Atsakas į ekonominius ir socialinius pokyčius galėtų būti kūrybingumas, kuris kyla tam tikroje socialinėje (ekonominėje) aplinkoje. Autorius atkreipia dėmesį į teisinius kūrybos ekonomikos aspektus ir analizuoja technologijų vaidmenį kūrybinėje visuomenėje. Pabrėžiamas autorių ir patentų teisės prieštaringumas kūrybos ekonomikoje. Išreikšdama kūrėjo teisę į teisingą atlygį, autorių teisė apriboja kūrybos komunikaciją, o patentų teisė išreiškia siekius privatizuoti visuomeninį turtą įskaitant gamtą. Technologijų ir kūrybos ekonomikos santykiai taip pat išreiškia visuomeninius pokyčius. Pirma, ekonominiai santykiai gali būti traktuojami kaip socialinės technologijos. Antra, technologijos (ypač e. technologijos) yra kūrybinių industrijų, užtikrinančių ekonominį augimą, pamatas. Trečia, technologijos neatsiejamos nuo vartojimo, kuris reikalauja naujų produktų ir generuoja pačią ekonomiką.

Local government relates to the public administration of towns, cities, counties, and districts. One of the key responsibilities of local government is the administrative purpose of supplying goods and services. Local governments should also represent and involve citizens in determining specific local public needs and how these local needs can be met. As the structure of gross domestic product (GDP) in many countries across the world changes, so do the expectations towards the role of local governments as far as supporting local economic growth is concerned. The administrative purpose involves creating conducive conditions for economic development. Statistical figures show that the share of the creative economy in the GDP of the most developed countries is steadily increasing. New economic sectors such as “creative industries” pose a challenge to local governments. In this paper, we present a conceptual model for measuring the efforts of local governments in developing and supporting the creative industries. The model proposed by the authors allows for the comparison of smaller administrative units such as counties regarding their advancement and commitment to supporting creative industries.

The article explores the role of art festivals as platforms for knowledge and network development in the creative industries and creative policy intervention using the case of a small street art festival ( Fuse Festival in Medway, UK). The analysis provides a broader perspective on the current research and debate on the impact and role played by arts festivals in local economic and cultural development—which usually concentrate on either their socioeconomic impact on local communities—to focus instead of their role in building knowledge communities and communities of practice. The results highlight the key role played by the festival in supporting and commissioning artistic work. The results also expose the temporary and explorative nature of many artistic practices and the role of interaction with audiences and other creative producers. Following a network perspective, the findings highlight the role of temporary clusters not only in shaping career opportunities for artists but also in drawing new pathways for local economic development for contexts undergoing regeneration.

An effort which can be conducted by the local government of Kupang city, Indonesia, to maintain its economic growth is by optimizing the role of creative industries of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). One of the well-developed MSMEs in Kupang city is a culinary business. Interestingly, almost 70% of the culinary industry in the city is dominated by menus from outside rather than maintaining a typical menu of East Nusa Tenggara province which is processed creatively. The business development model of this industry tends to be partial, not integrated yet with policymakers, and other businesses, such as travel agencies and mass media. The purpose of this study was to identify and map the existence of the culinary business and to find out the model of developing a creative economy based culinary business in Kupang city, Indonesia. The object of this research was MSMEs actors who run business in the culinary industry in the city.

23 years have passed since the adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 1993, but the question of the place and the role of the category of constitutional forms of ownership remains debatable. The article discusses the purpose of the form of ownership in the constitutional regulation of economic relations, an analysis of the main approaches to the evaluation of the legal significance of this category, argues that a formal stance on ownership’s nature gives a distorted view of the methods of legal influence on the economy. Despite the denial of the form of ownership’s ideological aspects in modern democratic constitutions this category has social elements. It is shown that an assessment of the constitutional form of ownership should be carried out by economic and social and legal aspects. Based on the texts of various states’ constitutions the analysis of the basic dimensions of the form of property exercise is undertaken, including also other aspects such as promoting advanced management methods, provisioning traditional economic structures and protecting particularly important property. The article demonstrates the interconnection of the constitutional form of ownership with organizational-legal forms of business. In this connection the nature and the purpose of the private and public forms of ownership are taken into account. Otherwise it is difficult to mark the necessary boundaries and ways of state participation in the economy. The conclusion defines that the constitutional ownership is an essential tool for building the optimal model of economy by means of supporting the most promising and traditional ways of economic management.

We have now completed our journey through the creative economy. Our concluding chapter draws together arguments and elaborates policy suggestions. We examine the value of IP/IPR as an analytical construct and consider how it adds to our understanding of contemporary debates over the creative industries. Our analysis of IP policy and attendant rights issues argues that any evidence-based policy should be based on an understanding of the role of IP/IPR within the valorization process as a whole. We also place our discussion of IP within the context of cultural and education policy, emphasizing the importance of cultural access and support and the development of craft skills that underpin the process of creating intellectual property. We argue both are crucial for the future of creative production and the cultural economy as a whole.

The creative economy is driven by the transfer of property; tradable property is the ‘product’ of the creative industries. The chapter explores how intellectual property (IP)/intellectual property rights (IPR) function to constitute creative work as a market object that can be disentangled and sold. The chapter deals first with the performative role of law in constructing market objects. We examine how law, with its focus on authorship and originality, embodies a particular conception of solitary artistic creation, inherited from nineteenth-century Romantic aesthetics; at the same time, the law also mandates property rights as a means of constituting a market object, and these property rights necessitate a creator to whom they can attach. Both aspects seem highly artificial in view of the collaborative and collective processes that produce creative work and it becomes clear that creative producers have to manage this multifaceted, liminal object in the shape of the IP/IPR nexus.

This study aims to determine how much influence the creative economy approach has on economic growth. Based on the results of the hypothesis tested the influence of the creative economy on economic growth was rejected. This has been proven from the results of simple linear regression testing which shows that the influence of the creative economy on economic growth is weak. It can be understood that the creative economy in the village of Pedekik is engaged in the business of creative industries still lacking new innovations, creativity and new inventions so that they can compete with market developments. Indeed the creative economy will slowly replace the role of commodities and natural resources as a supporter of the Indonesian economy. This study shows the results that there is no influence on the creative economy on economic growth.

Cultural and creative industries are now an established area of academic research. Yet, the welcome innovations that are associated with the development of a new field of study are also matched by confusions and conjectures. The term itself, ‘cultural and creative industries’, is the subject of extensive debate. It goes hand in hand with closely related concepts such as ‘creative economy’, as well as reflecting definitional struggles aimed at conjoining or demarcating the creative and the cultural. Many of these debates have been the subject of sociological research and research in Sociology. This collection considers that specific role of sociology, and Sociology, to the study of cultural and creative industries. The e-special issue collects articles ranging from early empirical and theoretical precursors to the formal establishment of cultural and creative industries as a field of study, to more recent work considering the coherence and usefulness of the category itself.
