The Role of Intermediary Bodies within the Finnish Public Cultural Administration

In March 1994 CIRCLE (Cultural Information & Research Centres Liaison in Europe) Network organised an European Round Table on the Distribution of Roles and Changing Nature of Relations between Governments and Independent or Quasi-Independent Arts Councils or Foundations. As a preparation for the conference the participating countries were asked to describe the national situation through answering seven questions within a maximum of about 5-8 pages. This working paper presents the reply of Finland to the questionnaire.
