Resumen

This entry aims to provide some reflections from my experience as a professional archaeologist and professional diplomat specialized in multilateralism of the politics and processes surrounding archaeology in the governance system established by the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, with an emphasis on the developing world. The processes regarding the presentation of a nomination file, the decision-making process and the implementation phase will be important parts of the analysis to exemplify the role of archaeology in the politics of this multilateral scenario.
