The creative industries are the subject of growing attention among policy-makers, academics, activists, artists and development specialists worldwide. This engaging book provides a global overview of developments in the creative industries, and analyses how these developments relate to wider debates about globalization, cities, culture and the global creative economy. Flew considers creative industries from six angles: industries; production; consumption; markets; places; and policies. Designed for the non-specialist, the text includes insightful and wide-ranging case studies on topics such as: fashion; design thinking; global culture; creative occupations; monopoly and competition; Shanghai and Seoul as creative cities; popular music and urban cultural policy; and the rise of "Nollywood". Global Creative Industries will be of great interest to students and scholars of media and communications, cultural studies, economics, geography, sociology, design, public policy, and the arts. It will also be of value to those working in the creative industries, and involved in their development.
Terry Flew is a professor of media and communication in the creative industries faculty at the Queensland University of Technology.

Bibliography
Terry Flew is a professor of media and communication in the creative industries faculty at the Queensland University of Technology.
"Flew's sober and penetrating analysis of the increasingly global
character of the creative industries sheds a bright light on a
field too often characterized more by heat. Both scholarly and
accessible, it should be of great use to academics, policy experts,
and media professionals alike."
Thomas Streeter, author of The Net Effect: Romanticism, Capitalism,
and the Internet
"This volume provides an admirable and far-ranging study, which
provides real insight into what is happening to creative industries
around the world from a variety of perspectives including
consumption, policy and markets. This is one of those rare books
which academics, students and media professionals will find useful
and illuminating."
Jeanette Steemers, University of Westminster
"Global Creative Industries provides a valuable extension beyond
previous work through its emphasis on development outside of the
metropolitan centres. The book takes a critical stance and makes an
important contribution to the field by using various case studies
as a way of illustrating the complexities of creative industries in
practice."
Petros Iosifidis, City University London
