New book released by Classical and Archaeological Studies staff

Cover of UNESCO, Cultural Heritage, and Outstanding Universal Value

AltaMira Press has just released a new title authored by Dr Sophia Labadi from the Department of Classics and Archaeological Studies at SECL.

The book is UNESCO, Cultural Heritage, and Outstanding Universal Value (AltaMiraPress, 2013). In the work, Dr Labadi explores the international legal framework developed by UNESCO to identify and protect world heritage and intangible heritage and its implementation at the national level. Drawing on close policy analysis of UNESCO’s major documents, extensive professional experience at UNESCO, as well as in-depth analyses of case studies from Asia, Europe, and Latin America, the book offers a nuanced discussion of the constitutive role of national understandings of a universalist framework.
