This book explores how China’s Belt and Road Initiative through
promoting a non-Western-centred geopolitical narrative is affecting
the conservation and management of Belt and Road heritage sites.
Considering the dynamics between academics, heritage professionals,
and government officials, the inscription process and management of
Silk Roads heritage sites, and the practice of China’s Belt and
Road heritage diplomacy, the book examines how changing heritage
conservation practices are influenced by politics and
professionalism and negotiated in different ways across different
nation states in the Belt and Road zones. Highlighting the
different aims and outlooks of Chinese diplomacy, UNESCO and other
international heritage conservation organisations, nation states as
guardians of national interests, and local communities as
custodians of everyday lived heritage, it shows how the Belt and
Road Initiative has energized multilateral efforts in heritage
diplomacy and management. It also discusses how the
‘professional’ status of heritage professionals, including
practitioners engaged by governments and international
organisations and also scholars and researchers who provide
consultancy advice, is often not politics-free, with heritage
professionals often co-opted into speaking for stakeholders,
especially national governments.
This book provides much new thinking on the phenomenon of
whole-person education, a phenomenon which features strongly in
East Asian universities, and which aims to develop students
intellectually, spiritually, and ethically, to master critical
thinking skills, to explore ethical challenges in the surrounding
community, and to acquire a broad based foundation of knowledge in
humanities, society, and nature. The book considers different
approaches to whole person education, including Confucian,
Buddhist, and Chinese perspectives, Western philosophy, and
religion and interdisciplinary approaches. Overall, the book
provides a comprehensive overview of whole person education, why it
matters and how to implement it. Moreover, although the examples in
the book are from East Asia, the discussion and the values involved
are universal, important for the whole world.
