The Silk Roads: thematic study - working paper
2013
This is a working report, which was originally presented at the Ashgabat Silk Roads coordination meeting in May 2011, and formed the basis of the Silk Roads transboundary serial nomination strategy. It was subsequently updated using feedback from State Parties. A fuller version of this report, with all the underpinning GIS data, will be published in 2014.
The Silk Roads: an ICOMOS thematic study
2014
ICOMOS thematic studies are a synthesis of current research and knowledge on a specific theme. The aim of this study is to provide an analysis of sites along the Silk Roads that could be used by States Parties participating in the Serial transnational World Heritage nominations of the Silk Roads as a basis for comparative analyses when nominating series of sites. This study specifically aims to: • Profile the distribution and distinctiveness of Silk Roads sites in order to understand how sites are manifestations of the shifting systems of power and patronage that prevailed over time along the Silk Roads, in relation to the organisation of flourishing trade and the protection of trade routes. • Define the distribution of Silk Roads sites, in order to understand: o What sites are common to the whole extent of the Roads o What sites are specific to the whole Silk Roads or to certain parts of the Roads o What sites are unique or exceptional o Which sites are plentiful and how their form varies in time and space o What sites are persistent over time o What sites reflect specific periods of history, power systems or cultural traditions • Consider whether certain sections or corridors of the Silk Roads, through the assembly of sites within them, are distinctive from other sections of the Silk Roads, in terms of being manifestations of particular geo-cultural systems, and whether a case could be made for considering the Silk Roads as a collection of World Heritage properties, linked by a concept, instead of one single World Heritage serial property.

This paper will investigate the history of Silk Road in changing patterns of Geopolitics. Historically, it remained only a road or a route but a fragment of history that connects East and West. It consists of network of routes, trails and trading posts starting from China, scattered across Central Asia, penetrating South Asia and reaching across Europe. The term Silk Road was used for this route as Silk, which was before 7th century exclusively produced in China was the main product being exported to European lands. Empires like Persian, Roman as well as regions of Middle East, Central Asia, and Subcontinent and as far as Russia were involved in the exchange which reveals an earlier version of globalization. Knowledge, inventions and religions were the commodities which travelled through this route. In the contemporary world i.e 21st century China is treading through similar paths to ensure its sustainability and development. “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR) Initiative announced in 2013,...
Silk Roads and cultural routes
New Silk Roads, 2020
Belt and Road is a project in both writing and reading history. To date, international scrutiny has fallen overwhelmingly on the former; how China’s grand ambitions are altering the course of events and the global power landscape of the twenty-first century. But if the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is about “reviving” the Silk Roads for the twenty-first century, we might also ask how China now reads the past, and in what ways it appropriates it for strategic ends. Such lines of inquiry help us begin to understand how Belt and Road not just writes, but comes to re-write history, and it is the latter that may hold the greatest long-term impact. From the very beginning, Beijing has framed Belt and Road as a “revival” of the Silk Roads. But what this means precisely has received little critical attention in the West. Journalists and analysts have noted the Silk Road as little more than a gesture to romantic pasts of trade and exchange, where the camel trails and caravanserai of previous centuries are replaced by transcontinental rail lines and special economic zones. Sailing ships carrying porcelain become the container ships and oil tankers of the twenty-first century. History then is merely a palette of richly evocative imagery through which the old is paralleled with the new to make strategies of connectivity meaningful for audiences around the world. Countless news channels, think tanks, government reports, and academic papers have thus introduced BRI by casually summarizing the Silk Road in a short sentence or two, and rapidly moving on to the “real” stuff.

This book brings together scholars from many disciplines to shed light on the long history of the silk roads, to redefine it, and to demonstrate its vitality and importance. "Reimagining the Silk Roads" illuminates economic, spiritual, and political networks, bridging different chronologies and geographies. Richly illustrated, it explores fascinating topics, including archaeological discoveries, oceanic explorations, the movement and impact of ideas, and the ways in which the silk roads, broadly defined, contributed to processes of globalisation. Reconciling the study of land and sea routes, and paying attention to themes such as material culture, environment, trade, and the role of religious faiths, the authors offer complex yet accessible studies of the history of interactions and perceptions across Eurasia over the last 3,000 years. The editors critically respond to the recent politicisation of the silk roads and reflect on their polycentric character. The book challenges and revives silk roads studies, and it will be relevant not only to researchers in archaeology, history, heritage, and related fields, but also to the general reader.

The Silk Road: A Sustainable Cultural Route
The approach for this subject starts on the Silk Road's history, where networks were built with a great emphasis on the trade of silks and spices by monks, priests, soldiers, nomads and other pilgrims, serving to spread culture and knowledge between different civilizations, for centuries. Trade between people of different countries started from the beginning of 1st century BC, a powerful trade route has always been a dynamic agent of Cultural diffusion that combines economic prosperity with scientific development and the expansion of knowledge. The spirit of the Silk Road today is to keep alive the cooperation between cities in different countries, which in the past made part of the Silk Route and in the future can share the benefits of that inheritance, sharing their skills and different perspectives, connecting in the Construction of a New World, making the new Silk Road a Sustainable Cultural Route.
