The International Journal of Cultural Policy - aims to provide an outlet for an interdisciplinary and international exploration of the nature, function and impact of cultural policies. It includes a broad view of cultural policy, encompassing culture as a "way of life" as well as culture in the narrower sense of the arts and cultural industries. It is concerned both with the policies of institutions and with the wider discourses which relate to the general conditions of culture.

Performing Arts International Development Group (PAID)
The Performing Arts includes a wide range of organisations both in scope and art form - ranging from small scale performance group to large scale musical, from solo dancer to classical ballet company and from individual musician to major orchestra.
As well as tapping into overseas markets the performing arts are essential in representing UK culture abroad.
The Group is currently considering
- what research has already been carried out on the Performing Arts Sector
- how to make best use of potential Government resources, including funding schemes, and to consider how best to translate the schemes for the Performing Arts sectors
- to further consult members of the representative associations on what the main priorities for the Cluster Group should be, and
- an e-bulletin to disseminate information to the Performing Arts sector

Creative Exports Group
The Creative Exports Group was established in April 2002.
The CEG covers the content industries, including newspapers, books, magazine, directories, research journals and electronic publishing, computing software and services, music and broadcasting - tv and radio, films and computer games.
Under the Chairmanship of Andrew Yeates, Director General of the British Phonographic Industry, the CEG has been tasked to identify barriers to export growth; identify what help and information is already available to exports to assist in overcoming these barriers; and to put forward a programme of activity to add value to the export effort, and to identify who should lead in these efforts. The CEG is also considering ways of linking research already being carried out, and making it more readily available to the content sector.
The CEG has established five industry specific working groups - Film, TV, Radio, Publishing and Music - to consider key issues affecting their specific policy areas, including making best use of Trade Partners UK funds.
