N2  - This book explores the transformative role of networks within the European Union (EU) over the past three decades, particularly in relation to the cultural and creative sectors, examining how informal collaborations evolved into structured entities that have reshaped EU cultural governance and fostered cross-border cooperation among cultural professionals. Employing case studies, the book reveals how EU-funded networks influence local creative practices and policy discourse and drive ideational change. It introduces new analytical frameworks to assess networks as agents of multilevel, cross-sectoral transformation. By blending institutional and ethnographic analyses, the book challenges traditional views of EU cultural policy, arguing that cultural networks not only promote European integration, but also balance economic, cultural, social and environmental priorities. It positions these networks as central to the development of a transnational European cultural space, advancing both symbolic and structural integration. This book is essential reading for scholars, policymakers and cultural professionals, providing fresh insights into the evolving dynamics between cultural networks, policymaking and creative ecosystems in Europe. The analysis offers a unique perspective for a strategic conceptualisation of cultural policymaking, envisioning a future where cultural actors play a pivotal role in shaping the European cultural landscape and governance
