Abstract
Today, in the globalization age, many cities in the world show their cultural characters and promote the international image. Those festivals that hold in Edinburgh every year in summer, have been kept for a long time but never failed, and created their own brand and famousness. And we could see country and local government present the advantage and lights to the world through the way of cultural governance. Not only helpful to rise local economics, but also can raise the efficiency of governance. Besides the government, it must be accommodated by local industries, residents of the community, and local associations. Therefore, in the conception of governance, the public-private partnership and the participation of citizen society is more important. And it also needs the government with broad sight and magnanimity of governance to provide guidance and patronage to the folk.his thesis is primarily processed by content analysis, researches in the way of literature analysis and history-comparison analysis, to see the correlativity between cultural policy and the sustainability of Edinburgh International Festivals, and how the government relates with the folk.
