This working paper written by Dr Evangelia Psychogiopoulou focuses on the use of the open method of coordination (OMC) in the field of culture as one of the new cultural policy instruments of the EU following the publication of the European Commission’s Communication on a European Agenda for Culture in a Globalizing World. The analysis examines the EU institutions’ initial reaction to the idea of a cultural OMC, explores the design and evolution of the cultural OMC through two distinct cycles (2008-2010 and 2011-2014) and examines its relation with national cultural policies and the cultural action of the EU.
