This course aims to introduce students to the field of cultural heritage diplomacy in particular the meaning and positioning of culture, art and heritage to the contemporary foreign policies of European member states, the European Union (European Parliament, European External Action Service, European Commission), the United States and others. The course will discuss several examples to enrich students' knowledge of cultural heritage diplomacy in particular its practice in the Middle East and Central Asia. Students will also explore the governance and international mobilization of heritage in the modern era and distinctions between heritage as diplomacy and in diplomacy in order to reframe ways in which heritage has played a role in nationalism, international relations and globalization.
