Details

Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.

Lorenzo Casini delves into the increasing globalization of cultural heritage law in this innovative and thought-provoking Advanced Introduction. Chapters build on examples of armed conflict, UNESCO World Heritage, illicit traffic and restitution, and museums. In addition to answering fundamental questions on cultural property, Casini constantly connects national and global aspects of cultural heritage law; he dissects old and contemporary dilemmas such as the public and private divide, the paradoxes of protection, the complex regulation of landscape, or the retention v. restitution approaches, and examines the future challenges of cultural heritage law in the digital age.
