The prevalent global heritage discourse has been primarily
Euro-centric in its origin, premise, and praxis. Diverse cultural,
historical, and geographical contexts, such as that of Asia, call
for more context-specific approaches to heritage management. This
book explores this complexity of managing the cultural heritage in
Asia. Case studies include sites of Angkor, Himeji Castle,
Kathmandu Valley, Luang Prabang, Lumbini, and Malacca, and the book
uses these to explore the religious worldviews, heritage policies,
intangible heritage dimensions, traditional preservation practices,
cultural tourism, and the notion of cultural landscape that are
crucial in understanding the cultural heritage in Asia. It
critiques the contemporary regulatory frameworks in operation and
focuses on the issues of global impact on the local cultures in the
region. The book goes on to emphasize the need for integrated
heritage management approaches that encompass the plurality of
heritage conservation concerns in Asian countries. Themes are
discussed from the vantage point of heritage scholars and
practitioners in the South, Southeast, and East Asia. This book
thus presents a distinctive Asian perspective which is a valuable
source for students and practitioners of heritage within and beyond
the Asian context.
