Indeterminacy in the cultural property restitution debate

Title
Indeterminacy in the cultural property restitution debate
Description
The debate over the restitution of cultural property is usually framed as the dispute between what John Henry Merryman defined as 'cultural nationalism' and 'cultural internationalism': the opposite viewpoints that argue whether cultural heritage objects should be returned to their countries of origin or spread around the world as determined by other principles. [The author] argues that the concepts are problematic both in their definition and their perception as two dialectically opposed sides of a dispute.
