Arts, Culture and MediaThe development of arts and culture in Singapore has become an economic as well as a social and political factor in recent times. In addition to dealing with socio-political issues of cultural development and artistic freedom, policy frameworks now have to address arts education, the development of creative industries and the globalisation of Singapore arts from economic perspectives as well. IPS continues to examine these frameworks and investigate how they are evolving in relation to each other.
