Ideal for heritage professionals, academics, and students interested in cultural preservation, environmental sustainability, and organisational studies within the context of global heritage institutions.

The first major work to analyze the heritage and sustainability, this global, comparative study examines both direct environmental threats to tangible and intangible heritage, as well as issues of social and economic inequality faced by local, national, and international cultural organizations.

Description

For cultural and heritage institutions around the world, sustainability is the major challenge of the twenty-first century. In the first major work to analyse this critical issue, Barthel-Bouchier argues that programmatic commitments to sustainability arose both from direct environmental threats to tangible and intangible heritage, and from social and economic contradictions as heritage developed into a truly global organisational field.

Drawing on extensive fieldwork and interviews over many years, as well as detailed coverage of primary documents and secondary literature, she examines key international organisations including UNESCO, ICOMOS, and the World Monuments Fund, as well as national trust organisations of Great Britain, the United States, and Australia, among many others.

This wide-ranging study establishes a foundation for critical analysis and programmatic advances as heritage professionals encounter the growing challenge of sustainability.
