Summary: The purpose of this synopsis is to clarify the situation and trends with regard to cultural policies in the early 1980s. The task is obviously a difficult one because, as already indicated, the sources of information are by no means uniform but also because political systems, historical backgrounds, social and cultural traditions and administrative systems differ widely. There can be no discussion or cultural policy without reference to the socio economic and socio-political circumstances of which that policy is the reflection and the product. Few replies to the basic questionnaire, however, bring up this point. Furthermore, the information gathered relates only to the institutional aspects, which are often merely the 'surface of things' and have little to do with underlying cultural life. Something else lacking is an evaluation of the programmed activities, since the material received often merely states the aims pursued and does not report on the results achieved.
