Nadando entre dos aguas: el proyecto Qhapaq Ñan - Sede Nacional (2013-2018) y la gestión del patrimonio desde el Estado

This study highlights the inherent contradiction faced by state managers of archaeological heritage, particularly in balancing professional authority with calls for decolonial and participatory approaches. It argues that effective heritage management should not reject state roles but instead embrace a public space where diverse actors engage through cocreation frameworks. The research draws on the experience of Peru's Qhapaq Ñan project (2013–2018), demonstrating how state-led initiatives can foster inclusive participation without succumbing to hegemonic power structures or local exclusion. By analyzing this case, the study proposes a model for heritage management that ensures professionalism while addressing postcolonial critiques.
