A global range of case studies detail a number of distinct practical approaches to heritage on international, national and local scales. Chapters reveal the disjunctions between international frameworks and national implementation and assess how internationally agreed concepts can be misused to justify unsustainable practices or to further economic globalisation and political nationalism. The exclusion of many local communities from development policies, and the subsequent erosion of their cultural heritage, is also discussed, with the collection emphasising the importance of 'grass roots' heritage and exploring more inclusive and culturally responsive conservation strategies. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributions from an international group of authors, including practitioners as well as leading academics, deliver a broad and balanced coverage of this topic.
