Post-trauma and the Recovery Governance of Cultural Heritage
This book successfully represents the indispensable interdisciplinarity of viewpoints by its authors combining legal perspectives with architectural and anthropological approaches. With the observation and analysis presented here, this book is the first to demonstrate research-based governance solutions for cultural heritage within the process of recovering from traumatic events. Its opening statement is that universal international standards are not effective enough for the specific situations of disaster-struck places.
A major objective of this monograph is to allow its readers to go through a learning experience, from plural cases where reconstruction of cultural heritage became central to rebuilding a post-disaster society. This book introduces Japan as the most disaster-prone country, with a long history of confronting and overcoming the power of nature, resulting in its unique solutions for cultural heritage resilience and sustainability. But how do leadership and decision making become efficient in times of recovery? Bearing in mind what may be lacking in Japanese practices, this work also presents comparable governance models from other countries which indicate alternative solutions.
While a traumatic event may occur within one night, the process of recovery could last for decades. Such disasters also tend to recur. In order that directly affected communities can sustain resilience throughout the long recovery period, and that equally severe social trauma will not be repeated, a continuous, well-maintained governance response is required, whether grounded in local knowledge or national policy frameworks. At the heart of this book is the matter of the reconstruction process involving networks of small and large communities. Each of those has a role that becomes operational through linkages of contacts, the interchange of knowledge and skills, and above all through the sharing of common goals.

Junko Okahashi is currently an associate professor in international cultural cooperation at the University of the Sacred Heart, Tokyo, Japan. She holds a Ph.D. in Arts and Sciences (Area Studies) from the University of Tokyo. As a staff member and programme specialist of UNESCO from 2002 to 2011, she assisted states parties to the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. She continued to advocate for the implementation of their cultural heritage policies, in particular through formulating World Heritage site management plans in Asia and activating the process of World Heritage periodic reporting in Africa. Her research quest in cultural heritage policies and the theory/philosophy of conservation is sought through a combination of document-based work and fieldwork. She investigates the correlation and compatibility between multilateral governance of international norms related to cultural heritage (World Heritage, import and export of cultural properties, intangible cultural heritage, cultural diversity, historic urban landscapes) and case-specific on-site conditions, in an attempt to harmonize local needs and international orientations.
