After Islamic State: Local-State-Global Heritage Dynamics in Syria and Iraq

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to investigate the complexities of local-state-global dynamics in the destruction and reconstruction of Syrian and Iraqi heritage. This project expects to generate conceptual and methodological innovation via an interdisciplinary approach that involves conducting and analysing surveys, interviews and archival research. Expected outcomes include unprecedented empirical insights into how the people of Syria and Iraq perceive their heritage, and the extent to which it aligns with the attitudes of key state and global actors. This should provide significant benefits, including shaping further intellectual inquiry, as well as the policies and responses of key state and global actors to heritage issues in the Middle East.
