This is now a central book on this subject, and a leader in terms of its international multi-author and authoritative explication of every major dimension of management, organisation and production of the arts. It pushes beyond the traditional topics of 'arts management' to include the vital subjects of leadership, policy, law and community engagement. Jonathan Vickery, Director, Centre for Cultural and Media Policy Studies, University of Warwick, UK An excellent resource both for students looking to understand how the arts are approached and managed in the world today, as well as for practitioners looking to expand their understanding of how arts management works. The international perspective brings knowledge from around the world to inform readers of best practices and the theories that support them. Regardless of the specific artform one works in, this book is a vital resource that explores both the peculiarities of arts management in general as well as exploring the unique positions that are discipline specific. Anthony Rhine, Clinical Associate of Management, Pace University, USA This highly readable and impeccably researched volume is a tremendous addition to the arts and culture literature. A consistent and much-appreciated effort has been made to unite research and practice as necessary and complimentary parts of the same whole, providing readers with vital tools that are grounded in time-tested theory. Travis Newton, Le Moyne College, USA and author of Orchestra Management Handbook
