Abstract: | Europe and Asia have a long-term maritime relationship with each other, not always to the benefit of both. However, this intensive
connection has led to an outstanding heritage that is still present in many of the former colonies. These relics from the
past are parts of both European and Asian history. But what we usually share is the object and not the view: the past has
many different faces. The Netherlands tries to be involved in the protection and management of her heritage overseas. Being
aware of the political implications this can have, it focuses on a shared responsibility, on capacity building and on sharing
data and information between the partner countries. Among other tools being developed is the creation of a platform for data
and information exchange, that on a political level has established a common cultural heritage policy framework. |
