Projekt Qhapaq Ñan: Wyzwania nowego modelu polityki wobec dziedzictwa kulturowego ludów tubylczych

Qhapaq Ñan, the Andean Road System inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, serves as both a symbol of indigenous cultural heritage and a focal point for contemporary social and political dynamics. This study reveals that its nomination process and subsequent recognition by UNESCO are not merely about preservation but also about the 'politicization' of cultural heritage in Latin America's democratization processes. The research finds that Qhapaq Ñan represents a complex interplay between indigenous rights, multicultural policy principles, and sustainable development. It explores how the trail's management and protection are influenced by ethnopolitical standards, co-management concepts, and relationships between indigenous communities and public institutions. By analyzing these dynamics, the study highlights the potential of cultural heritage to foster social equity while navigating challenges posed by hegemonic power structures.
