Omschrijving

Cultural artefacts, such as those kept and trafficked between art dealers, private collectors and museums, have increasingly become localized in a ‘Bermuda triangle’ of colonialism, looting and the art (black) market, with their re-emergence resulting in disputes about ownership and claims for return. Taking the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means

This book makes an important contribution in the expansive domain of cultural property. Taking the 1970 UNESCO as a very specific and important point of departure, this interdisciplinary collection opens new possibilities for understanding the complex relations between international bureaucracy and local responses in terms of decision-making, implementation and negotiation.
