OPEN COMPENDIUM
Profiles for Countries outside of Europe
Profiles for the Regional Level in Europe
Local and Individual Contributions
With the support of the European Cultural Foundation (Amsterdam) and in collaboration with Culture Resource/Al Mawred Al Thaqafy (Cairo), independent researchers in the Arab Region produced eight country profiles following the Compendium model. In the context of the "OPEN Compendium process", they were advised by (former) Compendium authors Milena Dragicevic-Sesic, Tsveta Andreeva, Ritva Mitchell and Ineke van Hamersveld.
In October 2010, the Boekman Foundation (Amsterdam) released a publication with these profiles: "Cultural Policies in Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria and Tunisia: An Introduction".
In 2009, the Arts Council Australia agreed to support the production of a cultural policy profile following the Compendium methodology. In close collaboration with IFACCA and the ERICarts Institute, this task has been accomplished in 2010 by Margaret Seares (University of Perth). A final version has been published on the new WorldCP platform 2011, together with a profile from Zimbabwe. Other profiles, e.g. for South Korea, Vietnam and other countries are forthcoming.
