Calling on the Community cover

There is a call in Heritage Studies to democratize heritage practices and place local communities at the forefront; heritage plays an important role in identity formation, and therefore in social inclusion and exclusion. Public participation is often presented as the primary means to prioritize communities. However, studies focusing on public participation are typically descriptive in nature and lack a strong analytical framework that enables us to understand participation. The essays in this volume apply Public Administration theory to collaborative governance and thus contribute to a better understanding of public participation in the heritage sector.

“This volume of papers makes a significant contribution to new critical frameworks for understanding and shaping participative practice in heritage work, applying theories of public administration and governance networks towards innovative insights and solutions.”• Gill Chitty, University of York
