Reviews

In this excellent volume Peter Bille Larsen carefully argues that while rights infringements associated with World Heritage listing and management processes have been too long ignored it is important to recognize the advances being made by many practitioners on the ground towards achieving stronger social justice at World Heritage sites. Larsen's guarded optimism is supported by an admirable set of contributors providing original case studies and legal reviews that capture the changing situation in the Asia-Pacific region. - Professor William Logan, Deakin University, Australia
