Notice to my readers on some changes in the News sections on the Culture in Development website

Those who follow my different news sections will notice that I recently made some changes. I rearranged some of the columns.

I found Discussing Culture & Development better representing the news items in this column than Discussing Reconstruction. This column will be filled with items that reflect my attitude towards development, a process that must come from the people within, which we as outsiders can only facilitate. The future items will also reflect the way development is influenced by culture, including cultural heritage. Fortunately, culture as a key factor in development gets increasingly more attention from the many NGOs and IOs.

In the new column Discussing Looting you will read about recent critical articles, but also from the past, that discuss the many issues involved in this debate. It will not be a list of artefacts returned or discovered in museum collections or elsewhere. However, I do recognize the relevance of such a list as it illustrates the discussion. Illicit trade, illicit excavations and stolen artefacts from Afghanistan or Iraq you will find in the Dossier Afghanistan or Dossier Iraq.

Some of the dossiers, especially Dossier Chili and Dossier Haiti, will not be filled with new items so often. This is due to the lack of relevant events, there is simply not much to report anymore.
Nevetheless, I will leave the dossiers on my website as they might be relevant in the future. Possibly as a comparison for similar disasters in the future.
