Globally the UNECCO - Convention Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions has been ratified of a majority of nations. Finally controversies between secularised and religious based cultural policy has given rise to huge debates. Controversies between secularised and religious identity policy are everywhere a lurking undertone of cultural policy. The present discourses on identity displayed in regions, nations, national states, minority groups and globally seem to indicate that collective forms of identity based on national belonging, ethnicity and local traditions are improved in public cultural policy in Europe and all over the world. One the other hand paradigms like multiculturalism, constitutional patriotism, multiple ideas of identity etc. are displayed in the cultural policy discourses and cultural practises and in the academic debates.
