“The book contains helpful and necessary definitions of basic terms by each author, which can have different notions when used in certain contexts and regions. This idea alone makes the book worth reading because it makes the reader aware of his or her own subjectivity. … Thus, the anthology is a have-to-read for arts and cultural managers, researchers and educators with a mainly national working context, as well as for those who hope to gain new insights on their international work.” (artsmanagement.net, August 17, 2020)
