Cultural Security develops the role of cultural property in diplomacy and international security and provides art world intelligence by examining the significance of antiquities, artworks, religious monuments, and historic structures to hard and soft power in foreign policy.CulturalSecurity.net supports four ares of study:- Political Economy of Cultural Property: assessed “cultural power” in foreign policy from reactive protection to proactive exploitation of cultural property.- Cultural Property Index: developed indicators to track, and potentially anticipate, the power of cultural property in diplomacy, foreign policy, and international security.- Framework for Cultural Intelligence: designed a system for analyzing the tactical and strategic roles of artworks, antiquities, and monuments in international affairs.- Art World Intelligence: integrated data from the art market with foreign affairs for security intelligence on the hard, soft, and alternative power of cultural. Art World Intelligence (AWI) (www.artworldintel.com) analyzes risk in art trading as a function of security threats to cultural property. AWI compares sales of artworks and events in international affairs to provide cultural intelligence on the political economy of the art market.Cultural intelligence informs:- financial, political, and ethical decisions on the acquisition of artworks (fine art, antiquities, tribal art...)- foreign policy on the strategic value of cultural property (artworks, historic structures, religious monuments...).
