Funded Activity Summary
The Crisis in International Heritage Conservation in an Age of Shifting Global Power. This project responds to the current crisis in international heritage conservation at a time of shifting global power. The flagship of heritage conservation, the world heritage system, faces multiple pressures and agendas that endanger sites and politicise decision-making at all levels, from local to global. This project focuses on four iconic sites, Abu Simbel, Angkor, Bagan and Sumatran Rainforests, and the world heritage system itself, to reveal how pressures have grown and shifted since World War II, how they operate at multiple scales and what new expertise might be introduced. It will produce a report for UNESCO and publications that include recommendations for solving challenges that threaten international heritage conservation today.Funded Activity Details
