Explores how cultural heritage has been exploited and weaponised by both state and non-state actors throughout history and in contemporary conflicts, revealing how monuments, traditions and historical narratives are manipulated for political, military and ideological gain, while also highlighting the resilience of communities striving to protect and reclaim their heritage against such attacks.

Cultural Arsenal: The Weaponisation of Heritage in Armed Conflict addresses head-on a dark and often overlooked aspect of cultural heritage: its weaponisation by both state and non-state actors. This new book is intended to show how cultural heritage has been used as a tool or weapon in contemporary conflict and geopolitical competition and how heritage has been manipulated and exploited throughout history to achieve strategic goals. The role of propaganda in the weaponisation of cultural heritage is also explored by examining how state actors use media and education to shape narratives around cultural heritage, often to justify territorial claims or suppress minority cultures. Within the context of International Humanitarian Law, these tactics highlight the importance of protecting cultural heritage during conflicts, as its loss can have profound and lasting impacts on communities, as well as the limits of international law in addressing the manipulation and exploitation of cultural heritage and its meaning. The book is therefore intended to explain - and set out - the exploitation of cultural heritage by both state and non-state actors to achieve military, economic, information, diplomatic and political advantage. By explaining this, the Editors aim to show how heritage has been weaponised in the past, and in the present, to achieve ideological successes as a component of advancing long-term interests. The narrative includes historical and current case-study examples, illustrating how empires and nations have used cultural heritage as a tool of propaganda. From political iconoclasm during the Ancient Egyptian Amarna period, to the aggressive program of Indigenous sequestration of Native American cultural practices in the nineteenth century, the book highlights how cultural heritage has been co-opted to serve strategic agendas across the Euro-Atlantic, Africa and the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific. Throughout the book, the contributors emphasise the resilience of communities in the face of such attacks. Stories of cultural preservation and resistance offer a glimmer of hope, showing how people strive to protect and reclaim their heritage despite the odds. This book is intended to be a thought-provoking and timely exploration of the intersection between culture and conflict. It calls for greater awareness and action to protect cultural heritage from being weaponised, urging readers to recognise the profound importance of preserving our shared history for future generations.

Cultural Economics & the Creative Economy

This edited volume presents an innovative approach to the relationship between cultural heritage and sustainable development, focusing on geographic factors and spatial economic analysis. Focusing on Italian case studies, the book unpacks various opportunities and challenges and explores how promoting and defending cultural heritage at the regional and national levels can in turn foster sustainable development.Chapters consider both tangible and intangible aspects of the cultural supply, such as museums and festivals, and investigate specific issues relevant to sustainability, from the role of networks on museums’ performance in remote areas to the effects of climate change on heritage sites. The book also pays special attention to the role of tourism, the various factors that impact tourist numbers, as well as how negative impacts can be mitigated. Several chapters focus on social capital and the importance of civic engagement and belonging in encouraging sustainable economic growth. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in a range of fields, including cultural economics, regional economics, economic geography, heritage studies and those working on sustainability more broadly.Silvia Cerisola

The Path of Innovation

From Water-Powered Textiles to Lithography Machines

This innovative book explores the world of 3D printing from the perspective of intellectual property law, tackling theory and practice. As 3D printing digitises tangibles and equips individual users with access to design and manufacturing tools, it also raises several pressing legal and policy issues. Does the IP framework - largely designed in the analogue age - adequately regulate the operation of the technology? How should the law respond to piracy in a digital environment where copying is the norm, not the exception? What are the community's experiences and views regarding IP? Is the law actually a concern? To fully address these questions, the book begins with a contextual overview of 3D printing's history and broader socio-economic impact. It explains why the 'desktop' side of the technology is likely to be especially problematic when it comes to IP law and highlights key areas of concern. Drawing on its rich empirical data featuring world-leading experts, engineers, lawyers and users, it offers illuminating insights into the experiences and perspectives of stakeholders before finally considering potential regulatory responses. Original and forward-looking, this book is essential reading for academics, practitioners, 3D printing users and any reader interested in the rapidly evolving field of law and technology.

“Schlink knows how to tell a gripping yarn . . . [The Granddaughter] is a rewarding and wonderfully readable novel.” —The Guardian“A brilliant dissection of a fragmented nation in which a glimmer of hope relieves a somber but wholly memorable tale.” —Kirkus (starred review)From the bestselling author of The Reader, a striking exploration of the past, told through the story of a German bookseller’s attempt to connect with his radicalized granddaughter.It is only after the sudden death of his wife, Birgit, that Kaspar discovers the price she paid years earlier when she fled East Germany to join him: she had to abandon her baby. Shattered by grief, yet animated by a new hope, Kaspar closes up his bookshop in present day Berlin and sets off to find her lost child in the east.His search leads him to a rural community of neo-Nazis, intent on reclaiming and settling ancestral lands to the East. Among them, Kaspar encounters Svenja, a woman whose eyes, hair, and even voice remind him of Birgit. Beside her is a red-haired, slouching, fifteen-year-old girl. His granddaughter? Their worlds could not be more different— an ideological gulf of mistrust yawns between them— but he is determined to accept her as his own.More than twenty-five years after The Reader, Bernhard Schlink once again offers a masterfully gripping novel that powerfully probes the past’s role in contemporary life, transporting us from the divided Germany of the 1960s to modern day Australia, and asking what unites or separates us.Translated from the German by Charlotte Collins

Perspectives on Asian Tourism

This book explores the evolving landscape of sustainable and regenerative tourism in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries—Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain—in the post-COVID-19 era. Tourism is a vital and highly inclusive sector across the region, generating value not only within hospitality, transport, retail, and cultural industries, but also indirectly across sectors such as telecommunications and financial services. However, the COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted tourism, with travel restrictions and lockdowns leading to a sharp decline in tourist arrivals and revenues.As the sector rebounds, with tourist numbers surpassing pre-pandemic levels in recent years, new challenges have emerged, including over-tourism and its impact on local ecosystems and communities. These developments have intensified debates around the need for more sustainable and regenerative approaches to tourism, emphasising models that are less extractive and more responsive to environmental and social contexts.Against this backdrop, the book provides a timely platform for examining current and future strategies for sustainable tourism development in the GCC. It brings together diverse perspectives to address how the region can balance growth with ecological preservation and community well-being.Structured around three interconnected themes, policies, technologies, and practices, the volume offers a comprehensive framework for understanding tourism transformation. Policies provide strategic direction and regulatory context; technologies act as enablers of innovation and implementation; and practices reflect the lived experiences where these elements converge. By examining the dynamic interplay among these dimensions, the book delivers a holistic and forward-looking analysis of sustainable and regenerative tourism in the Gulf region.
