Cultural Heritage Diplomacy: How Nations use Historic Sites for Political Ends - November 25

le français suit


2015-2016 series on HERITAGE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

Why exactly is ISIS destroying the cultural past of Iraq and Syria, and why
is finding a resolution so difficult? How does the funding of maritime
archaeology off the coast of Sri Lanka and Kenya connect with the disputes
now brewing in the South China Sea? And why is Japan investing hundreds of
millions of dollars in heritage conservation projects around the world? In
what ways are such examples linked? Are we seeing the emergence of a new
arena of international relations, one that uses the past in new and
unfamiliar ways?
