Cultural heritage today is not just about preserving the past, it’s a powerful tool in shaping national identity, asserting soft power, and negotiating global influence. This roundtable, hosted by Gurnaaz Kaur, cluster lead from the International Relations and Foreign Policy Cluster at Nickeled & Dimed, explores how artefacts, monuments, and historical narratives are being reclaimed and contested in international politics.
The discussion, with intriguing views of all the panellists unpacks how the control of heritage influences national image, how disputes over cultural objects reflect deeper struggles for legitimacy, and the role of global institutions like UNESCO in mediating these tensions. As heritage becomes central to diplomacy and power, this conversation reveals its evolving role in shaping the world order.
