The Crisis in International Heritage Conservation in an Age of Shifting Global Power

该项目是对当前全球权力转移时期国际遗产保护危机的回应。作为遗产保护的旗舰机构，世界遗产体系面临着多重压力和议程，这些压力和议程危及遗址，并使从地方到全球的各级决策政治化。该项目重点关注阿布辛贝热带雨林、吴哥热带雨林、蒲甘热带雨林和苏门答腊岛热带雨林四个标志性遗址，以及世界遗产系统本身，以揭示自第二次世界大战以来压力是如何增长和转移的，它们是如何在多个规模上运作的，以及可能会引入哪些新的专业知识。它将为联合国教科文组织和出版物编写一份报告，其中包括解决当今威胁国际遗产保护的挑战的建议。

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.
