Online Governance of Digital Spaces: Exploring a Rapidly Developing Regulatory Landscape
News Article: A Comprehensive Review of Policy Briefs on UK's Creative Industries
In a series of insightful policy briefs, researchers at the University of Glasgow's CREATe centre have delved into various aspects of the UK's creative industries, offering valuable insights for policymakers, regulators, and industry representatives.
One of the key policy briefs, titled "The Emergence of Platform Regulation in the UK: an Empirical-Legal Study," explores the development of regulatory frameworks governing internet platforms within the UK context. The study, which is based on a PEC Discussion Paper, discusses a diverse range of regulatory tools and policy levers, and considers the outcomes for the UK's regulatory authorities. The authors of the study, including Professor Martin Kretschmer, Professor of Intellectual Property Law, and Professor Philip Schlesinger, Professor in Cultural Policy, have provided a comprehensive analysis of the challenges involved in platform regulation, possibly shedding light on the "British model" of neo-regulation for internet platforms.
Another policy brief, titled "Television production, international trade and pressures to consolidate," focuses on the UK television production sector, one of Britain's leading creative export sectors. The brief provides a comprehensive analysis of the sector, discussing the pressures to consolidate and the implications for the UK's creative industries.
The policy brief titled "Authors' Earnings in the UK" sets out areas for possible policy action, proposed by researchers at CREATe. It is one of several briefs that create a taxonomy of 80 distinct online harms, mapping the digital platform regulatory landscape.
The briefing on "Audiences and Workforce in Arts, Culture and Heritage" provides a comprehensive analysis of audiences using census data, while "Transitioning to Sustainable Production across the UK Theatre Sector" outlines recommendations for sustainable theatre production.
The policy briefs also cover topics such as Education, Skills, Talent, Internationalisation, Arts, Culture and Heritage, Geography of the Creative Industries, and International, Trade, and Immigration. For instance, the briefing on the "Geography of the Creative Industries" discusses the role of seaside resorts and country towns in fostering creative industries innovation.
It is worth noting that US multinationals Google and Facebook are frequently mentioned in these policy briefs, reflecting the global nature of the digital platforms industry.
These policy briefs, which are essential reading for those interested in the UK's creative industries, are available for download on the University of Glasgow's CREATe website. They offer a wealth of knowledge and insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the UK's creative industries, providing a valuable resource for policymakers, regulators, and industry representatives alike.
