DECENTRALISATION

Decentralization is one of the ways cultural policies embody the value of equality. Although the concept is frequently linked to combating unequal provision of the arts in geographical terms, decentralisation policies are in fact concerned with providing equal opportunities for participation in culture and the arts for every citizen, regardless of his/her residence, physical ability or disability, income, social class, or cultural attributes such as race and gender.
