The research explores knowledge from a number of fields (such as cultural studies, anthropology,political theory, economics and sociology), and examines methodological and evaluative frameworks that have been tested in other fields (such as
quality of life indicators, value production chain analysis, and social and cultural capital
Despite its highly conceptual basis the report aims to have a practical influence on cultural policy, especially by introducing new tools for cultural policymakers. When taken together, these tools are intended to link research, consultation, knowledge and practical implementation in the context of human development in productive and practical ways.
The report identifies the need to 'deepen' and 'lengthen' cultural assessment and puts forward four practical proposals to achieve such a new focus:
1) the establishment of a programme of action to bring together research efforts in the cultural field undertaken by UNESCO, the Human Development Report Office of the UNDP, and the World Bank.
2) the establishment of mechanisms for the development of cultural policies and cultural
strategies based on competent forms of assessment and consultation through the frameworks of cultural planning and cultural mapping presented in the
report.
3) the encouragement of national statistical agencies and other competent bodies to expand the remit of their research efforts in the cultural field in collaboration, where appropriate, with other research-competent agencies in public, private and community sectors.
4) the encouragement of new programmes of cultural research by universities and other research-capable entities in partnership with community and industry stakeholders in the cultural field to undertake, as appropriate, both issue-oriented and goal-oriented
research that is policy-enabling.
The authors also call for a new type of communication between and within different sectors, between research and policy in the cultural field, and between cultural policy and economic, social or environmental policy in order to be able to consider culture as a basic driving force behind human behaviour and as a central element of human development.
