Submission by PEC to DCMS Committee Inquiry on Boosting Britain's Global Presence
The Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC) has submitted a paper titled "Promoting Britain Abroad" to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Committee. The document, co-authored by Eliza Easton and Benjamin Kulka, explores the role of the UK's creative industries in enhancing the country's soft power and contributing to economic growth and well-being.
The paper builds on a submission made by the PEC to the unpublished Soft Power Strategy and the published Integrated Review in August 2020. It also discusses government submissions related to Cross-cutting, R&D and Innovation, Skills, Jobs and Education, AI, Intellectual Property, and Regulation.
The submission addresses the geography of the creative industries in the UK and their ability to attract international demand for its products and services, as well as their potential to appeal to global talent. The paper also delves into how the UK's soft power assets can help address global challenges, such as sustainable development and the Covid-19 pandemic.
The PEC's submission to the House of Lords Communications and Digital Select Committee is on behalf of the 'Arts, Media, and Creative Industries' sector. The organisation, known for generating a significant volume of research related to DCMS sectors, provides independent research and policy recommendations for the UK's creative industries.
In addition to the "Promoting Britain Abroad" submission, the PEC has also responded to the Competition and Markets Authority's proposed study 'Music and streaming market', and co-authored a submission to the House of Lords Communications and Digital Select Committee inquiry into the future of Channel 4. The PEC has also submitted a response to the DCMS Committee's 'Cultural Placemaking and the Levelling Up Agenda'.
