Country Report
The United States of America's approach to external cultural policy reflects the privatised national understanding of culture, which is intended to be largely independent of the state. Even without a coherent external cultural policy, the United States dominates most of the world’s cultural, educational, and scientific fields. While the reputation of the US is recovering in some areas, it continues to face structural and long-term challenges. Overall, the political climate in the United States suggests that cultural programmes will face major obstacles in the future.
