《國際文化政策雜志》是一份同行評議的雜志，為跨學科和國際性地探索文化政策的意義、功能和影響提供了一個渠道。文化政策被理解為政府、公司、其他機構和個人促進或禁止文化實踐和價值觀。這些政策可以是明確的，因為它們的目標被公開地描述為文化的，也可以是含蓄的，因為它們的文化目標被隱藏或用其他術語描述。歷史范圍不限于任何特定時期，但該雜志主要關注與當代世界有關的材料，并有助于富有成果的國際思想交流。《華爾街日報》承認，圍繞文化這一概念有多種含義，以及這些含義之間的相互關系。然而,同時需要文化的廣闊視野,涵蓋范圍廣泛的代表實踐,包括媒體的產品,藝術和各種形式的政府或宗教顯示,《華爾街日報》將試圖保持關注相關政策文化符號交流而不是文化人類學意義上的“一個整體的生活方式”。

The International Journal of Cultural Policy is a peer reviewed journal that provides an outlet for an interdisciplinary and international exploration of the meaning, function and impact of cultural policies. Cultural policy is understood as the promotion or prohibition of cultural practices and values by governments, corporations, other institutions and individuals.Such policies may be explicit, in that their objectives are openly described as cultural, or implicit, in that their cultural objectives are concealed or described in other terms. The historical range is not limited to any given period, but the Journal is primarily concerned with material that is relevant to the contemporary world and which contributes to a fruitful international exchange of ideas.The Journal acknowledges the multiplicity of meanings around the idea of culture and the inter-relationship of these meanings. However, whilst it takes a broad view of culture, encompassing a wide range of signifying practices that include the products of the media, the arts and various forms of government or religious display, the Journal will attempt to maintain a focus on policies relating to culture as symbolic communication rather than to culture in the anthropological sense as ‘a whole way of life’.
