Are we aware of the values of craft? In this edited volume  cultural economists  researchers
and professionals provide an interdisciplinary discussion of the relevance and contribution of
the craft sector to the economy  as well as to society at large.Mignosa and Kotipalli bring
together contributors to compare the craft sector across countries  analysing the role of
institutions  educational bodies  organisations and market structure in its evolution and
perception. The Western approach to craft and its subordinate position to the arts is
contrasted with the prestige of craftmanship in Eastern countries  while the differing ways
that craft has attracted the attention of policy agencies  museums  designers and private
institutions across regions is also analysed. This volume is vital reading to those interested
in the economic features of craft and craftsmanship around the world  as well as for those
interested in the importance of policy in bringing about effective sustainable development.
