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 analyze 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 organizational 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 organizations including UNESCO; ICOMOS; and the World Monuments Fund; and national trust organizations of Great Britain; the United States; and Australia; and many others. This wide-ranging study establishes a foundation for critical analysis and programmatic advances as heritage professionals encounter the growing challenge of sustainability.
