Summary/Abstract: Following the development of interdisciplinary analyses of the creative economy in the reflection of Western societies, the paper poses a question about the specificity of implementing this idea in Central and Eastern Europe. The author confronts the mythology of creative industries with the complex social and political context of the region’s countries, and tries to determine whether specific public policies have a comparable result when applied in different social, cultural, and political conditions. The problematization of the ‘compatibility’ of the innovationist discourse with a type of society and modernity different from the Western one serves to reflect on the universal phenomenon of the reception of Western modernization narratives as well as strategies of their assimilation, resistance, or new reconstructions.
