Part of the Peace Institute at the Institute of Contemporary Social and Political Study, the Centre for Cultural Policy Research focuses on the study of the roles, development trends, and material conditions of cultural institutions and the effects of their operation (including production, circulation and the consumption of cultural products). Special attention is devoted to the products of popular culture and their economic, political and social implications.

Special fields of interest are, among others: (i) material conditions of independent producers in the field of culture; (ii) comparative analysis of cultural policies in Slovenia and elsewhere; (iii) applied research studies, case studies, recommendations for change and modifications of cultural policies; and (iv) public discussions, lectures and round tables on cultural policies in Slovenia and abroad.

In the last few years the centre has conducted several research projects on the cultural industries, the economy of culture, reading cultures and publishing, and cultural education. Some results of the research projects have been presented in the book series Politike (for instance, a book on the independent social and cultural centre Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Zone, a book on the cultural policies of some European countries, and a book on the economy of culture in Slovenia) and also in the book series of other publishers (for instance a book on reading cultures published by UMco).
