This project looks at processes related to the destruction and reconstruction of cultural heritage (CH) at risk, being premised on the assumption that the international protection of CH and its legal and political mechanisms represent relevant entry points to understand broader dynamics of world politics, such as: the changing forms of conflicts and political violence; the changing nature of international interventions and missions, as well as of multilateral instruments; the political use and misuse of transnational identities and collective memories; the relations between the military and the civilians as well as conservation professionals and humanitarian actors.
