The search for a new development strategy of a regional institute of culture in conditions of glocalization

This article examines current problems of strategizing an institute of culture considering the process of glocalization, as a regional response to global challenges. Conditions of «new regionalism» associated with the growing role of local territories (regions, cities, districts) and increased attention to their socio-cultural identity promote the pursuit of optimal ways to integrate a regional institute of culture and arts into global processes. As a result it becomes necessary to form a new model for a regional institute of culture in particular, the Samara State Institute of Culture and a cultural and philosophical understanding of the issues involved.
