Abstract
Privatization is one of the main engines of change at the end of this century. In Europe, it affects all sectors of governmental action, including culture. Of course, the higher the level of direct state subsidy and regulation in the past, the harder the effects on the cultural sector when state support is reduced. As these levels differed across Europe, there are at present wide-ranging differences amongst countries as to the degree of disengagement on the part of the states.
