At the beginning of October 1980 Renate Needham felt very proud of having been admitted at the Polytechnic near her home to read a degree course in German. Ever since the end of the war she had yearned for a degree, but domestic obligations had made studying for such a goal quite impracticable, not to say impossible.

Wir erleben eine Zeitenwende - in unserer globalisierten Welt verweben sich zunehmend politische, ökonomische, ökologische und kulturelle Prozesse. Die neue Vielfalt und der damit verbundene anstehende Paradigmenwechsel fordern die Kulturpolitik auf allen Ebenen. Das traditionelle kulturpolitische Verhältnis von Innen und Außen steht ebenso zur Debatte wie die Identitätspolitik, der Umgang mit kulturellem Erbe und Diversität, die Rolle der Künstler sowie die Inhalte und Formen der kulturellen Bildung und Kulturvermittlung. Das Jahrbuch für Kulturpolitik 2017/18 versammelt neben Vorträgen des 9. Kulturpolitischen Bundeskongresses 2017 »Welt.Kultur.Politik.« weitere Beiträge u.a. von Pankaj Mishra, Ulrike Guérot, Monika Grütters, Milo Rau, Andreas Reckwitz, Monica Juneja, Wolfgang Merkel, Birgit Mandel, Sigmar Gabriel und Harald Welzer.
