In this monograph, Jennifer Craik undertakes a critical and historical analysis of the main imperatives of arts and cultural policy in Australia. With forensic skill she examines the financial and policy instruments commonly relied upon in this much contested and diverse area of public policy. Craik uses her analysis of past and current policy responses as a platform for articulating future options. This is a valuable work for cultural professionals and administrators, art historians and, indeed, anyone with an abiding interest in the management of the nation's cultural estate.

Reviews for Re-Visioning Arts and Cultural Policy: Current Impasses and Future Directions

Vladimir Ilich Lenin (real name Ul'anov) was one of the principal architects of the October 1917 Bolshevik revolution and, until his death in 1924, the leader of the world's first communist state. A major theoretician of revolution with several works to his credit - a penetrating 1916 analysis of the connection between Imperialism and revolution and his 1917 book The State and Revolution in which he justified the dictatorship of the proletariat - he was, above all, a ruthless, single-minded but also brilliantly inspired revolutionary strategist. Until now, however, no really satisfactory biography of him has been possible due to lack of access to official records in the former Soviet Union. These are now available and the author has made good use of them in this convincing and well-rounded study which, in addition to being a thorough analysis of pre and post-revolutionary Russian politics, the Bolshevik revolution itself, the ensuing Civil War and the period of 'war communism', also examines Lenin's family background, his experience of exile and imprisonment, his marriage, his austere temperament and the traumatic effect on him of his eldest brother's execution in 1886 for complicity in the attempted assassination of Tsar Alexander III.
