Global Trends in Museum Diplomacy by Natalia Grincheva
Global Trends in Museum Diplomacy features several case studies from the US, Russia and China to explore alternative avenues of contemporary museum diplomacy that no longer depends on government commissions to serve immediate geo-political interests. Drawing on eclectic methodological approaches from traditional desk research to immersive autoethnography, this book shares global research journeys over the last ten years.
Starting with revolutionary global expansion activities of the Guggenheim Museum, transformations have been traced, such as, cultural franchising and global corporatization in the context K11 Art Mall in Hong Kong and the International Network of Foundations of the State Hermitage Museum in Russia. “Global Trends in Museum Diplomacy” is a fascinating and useful read for all those who are interested in economic dimension of cultural diplomacy in the age of increasing neo-liberal globalization.
