The Yearbook features Christine Merkel’s keynote article about the 2005 UNESCO Convention, a veritable magna carta of international cultural policy advocating for the protection and promotion of cultural diversity. The Dossier section, ‘Heritage for Society’, confirms the extent to which cultural heritage is intertwined with everyday life in Turkey as it is throughout the world. Further contributions to the Dossier underline the new approach to heritage and aim to highlight related research, projects, and assessments. This issue also pays tribute to Dragan Klaic, a curious and uncompromising intellectual dedicated to the protection of cultural diversity.
