This interdisciplinary book series explores the interface between law, governance, and cultural heritage that affect social life. While law establishes the framework for conservation, preservation, and responsible utilization, culture itself also influences the values and identities that the law seeks to protect. Culture and heritage are important in the multilevel governance structures across the globe. This book series constitutes an important and much-needed response to current trends in the multilevel and participatory governance of culture and cultural heritage at global, regional and national levels. Furthermore, it emphasizes comparative legal analysis. Significantly, this series facilitates the understanding of operational mechanisms of legal, policy and governance frameworks pertaining to culture and heritage across a range of local, national, regional and cultural contexts. It also elucidates the underlying rationales for the existence of these various approaches, practices and their inherent disparities, and identifies the insights that can be learnt from them. The series welcomes a wide range of interdisciplinary scholarly works with differing approaches and methodologies, including some that are primarily theoretical and others that are empirical case studies.
