Why should one give attention to administration in the field of heritage, with so many fascinating aspects of material culture and archaeological finds? The problem is that heritage works and professions do not happen in a vacuum, but rather within organizations: and most of the time, they take place within the public sector (the US appears to be the exception more than the rule). If one wants to compare the changes that occurred in the last few years in, say, Machu Picchu, Pompeii and the Qin Mausoleum, for sure a good part of these changes are explained by the evolution of professional discourse at the global level, including the increasing role played by international agencies (UNESCO, ICCOMOS etc.). Nonetheless, a good part of the differences are likely to be explained by internal dynamics of public sector in Peru, Italy, and China.

Abstract
Why should one give attention to administration in the field of heritage, with so many fascinating aspects of material culture and archaeological finds? The problem is that heritage works and professions do not happen in a vacuum, but rather within organizations: and most of the time, they take place within the public sector (the US appears to be the exception more than the rule). If one wants to compare the changes that occurred in the last few years in, say, Machu Picchu, Pompeii and the Qin Mausoleum, for sure a good part of these changes are explained by the evolution of professional discourse at the global level, including the increasing role played by international agencies (UNESCO, ICCOMOS etc.). Nonetheless, a good part of the differences are likely to be explained by internal dynamics of public sector in Peru, Italy, and China.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
