| Abstract | This paper examines some aspects of the relationship between 'crea- tive industries' and the European Capital of Culture (ECoC) pro- gramme, focusing on research carried out around the city of Liver- pool's tenure as ECoC in 2008. It demonstrates how, in concert with broader trends, the Liverpool ECoC is in part presented as being inti- mately linked with creative industries growth, and how such growth is assumed to be of particular benefit in times of economic crisis. The paper goes on to suggest, however, that this model of a strong, beneficial link is a problematic one; not only may the ECoC not be strongly related to the operation of creative industries, but the bene- fits which creative industries are assumed to bring may also be in need of further scrutiny. Without such scrutiny, the prevalent dis- course of a link between the ECoC and creative industries may bring about crises of its own. |
