In Latvia the use of the Creative Industries term increases, however the understanding of its implications often causes confusion, both among policy makers and the broader public. The aim of this article is to establish a better understanding of the principles of Cultural and Creative Industries and the concept of a Creative Economy using historical reasoning from relevant literature. Formal use of the term Creative Industries is quite recent (1994), marking the digital era of cultural industries and creativity. However there are roots back to the industrial revolution and urbanization, cultural industries from the 1930s, popular culture, ideology distributed through mass media and contra culture rebelling against the capitalist drive of mass culture.

Innovation is a main economy driver in the 21st century and in recent years has shifted from a primarily technological ‘information society’ mantra to one describing broader non-technological innovation and intellectual capital. In any case this current approach is more suitable for a service-based sustainable society. The creative and cultural economy in the digital environment is a growing part of the global economy. Trade based on creativity, knowledge and information generates jobs, wealth and cultural engagement. According to a UNDP report Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) contribute up to 7% of GDP and is the fastest growing sector of many economies. In Latvia the term Creative Industries (CI) has been used since 2005 and similarly to other Baltic States Latvia has accepted the CI definition provided by the British Department of Culture, Media and Sports (DCMS). Despite that, broader entrepreneurship policy support for CCI is used very little. In spite of the lack of attention by economic policy makers, creative industries in Latvia exist, therefore it makes sense to talk about them and analyze their economic condition as a means of understanding more deliberately their economic potential. The aim of this paper is to explore the concept of CCI with the method of literature review and to establish an understanding of the describing terms and theories. This is crucial because the amount of literature is large and many sources express policy formulations which could be questioned with respect to their academic strength. This research paper has three main themes – (a) key descriptions of CCI and related concepts; (b) statistical perceptions and the limitations of existing statistical frameworks; and (c) some interesting theories of how to perceive CCI.
