Abstract
Creativity support policies as a means of development policy for the global South? A critical appraisal of the UNESCO Creative Economy Report 2013. Regional Studies. Cultural segments of the economy have long been the popular targets of policy-makers intending to promote the economy. The United Nations Creative Economy Report intends to harness the creative economy for goals of economic development policy to the benefit of developing countries. This paper demonstrates that the idea of the creative economy, understood as a development policy tool, has several serious theoretical–conceptual weaknesses. Popularity does not mean the policy tools are or will be successful. For that reason, and with all due respect to the strengths of this concept, they should be subject to critical analysis in each individual case.
