The UNESCO World Heritage Convention has become one of the most
successful UN instruments for promoting cultural diplomacy and
dialogue on conservation of cultural and natural heritage. This
book provides an overview of the convention through an
interdisciplinary approach to conservation. It shows that based on
the notion of outstanding universal value and international
cooperation for the protection of heritage, the convention provides
a platform for sustainable development through the conservation and
management of heritage of significance to humanity. With increasing
globalization of heritage, World Heritage Conservation is reviewed
as an emerging interdisciplinary field of study creating new
opportunities for inclusive heritage debate both locally and
globally, requiring common tools and understanding. With over a
thousand properties inscribed on the World Heritage List, from
biologically diverse sites such as the Central Amazon Conservation
Complex to the urban landscape of the metropolis of Rio de Janeiro,
the book will help students, researchers and professionals in the
identification, protection, conservation and presentation of World
Heritage. Targeted at a diversity of disciplines, the book
critically describes the strategies for implementing the convention
and the processes of heritage governance for sustainable
development.
