REGIONAL LINKAGES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CULTURAL INDUSTRIES: A PATHWAY TOWARD SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Cultural industries (CIs) have become an important economic sector, contributing to socio-economic development and national cultural value, yet their development remains fragmented and underutilizes regional linkages. This paper examined the role of regional cooperation in CI development, identified successful domestic and international collaboration models, and proposed initial strategic directions. The findings showed that regional linkages enhance the use of local comparative advantages, stimulate creativity, strengthen competitiveness, and support balanced and sustainable CI development.
