“Heritage, a practice shot through with political forces, is mobilized by states within their international relationships through methods such as heritage diplomacy. Focusing on the connections between Rwanda and Germany, this article traces how heritage serves as a technique of foreign relations for the Rwandan state. The uses of heritage are shaped by the state\u2019s higher-level political orientations, especially the project of agaciro<\/i>, which pursues an agenda of increased sovereignty for Rwanda in relation to the rest of the world. This conditions how \u2018shared heritage\u2019 and heritage repatriation contribute to establishing strategic alliances and decolonizing, making heritage part of a suite of tools used to advantageously reposition the country in the international arena. The article deepens our understanding of the Rwandan state\u2019s governing techniques and examines heritage\u2019s role as a mediator of international relationships, even for less-powerful nations whose agency is sometimes neglected in discussions of heritage diplomacy.”<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
