Cultural heritage in a changing world
\"The central purpose of this collection of essays is to make a creative addition to the debates surrounding the cultural heritage domain. In the 21st century the world faces epochal changes which affect every part of society, including the arenas in which cultural heritage is made, held, collected, curated, exhibited, or simply exists. The book is about these changes; about the decentring of culture and cultural heritage away from institutional structures towards the individual; about the questions which the advent of digital technologies is demanding that we ask and answer in relation to how we understand, collect and make available Europe's cultural heritage. Cultural heritage has enormous potential in terms of its contribution to improving the quality of life for people, understanding the past, assisting territorial cohesion, driving economic growth, opening up employment opportunities and supporting wider developments such as improvements in education and in artistic careers. Given that spectrum of possible benefits to society, the range of studies that follow here are intended to be a resource and stimulus to help inform not just professionals in the sector but all those with an interest in cultural heritage.\"--Back cover.
BOOK
European Business, Dictatorship, and Political Risk, 1920-1945
For much of the twentieth century, the prevalence of dictatorial
regimes has left business, especially multinational firms, with a
series of complex and for the most part unwelcome choices. This
volume, which includes essays by noted American and European
scholars such as Mira Wilkins, Gerald Feldman, Peter Hayes, and
Wilfried Feldenkirchen, sets business activity in its political and
social context and describes some of the strategic and tactical
responses of firms investing from or into Europe to a myriad of
opportunities and risks posed by host or home country authoritarian
governments during the interwar period. Although principally a work
of history, it puts into perspective some commercial dilemmas with
which practitioners and business theorists must still unfortunately
grapple.
