“…Dilworth and Weaver (2020) discuss how urban political form and development are shaped by ideas, interests and institutions. They explain how social groups, in order to advance their interests and ideas, form coalitions to promote certain demonstrational projects while contesting other forms of urban development.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to attempt to provide a critical assessment of the trajectory and nature of the production of knowledge on cultural heritage on the Arab world. This evaluation of the discipline or field of cultural heritage will focus on both a historic evolution and on current practices in order to understand the nature and politics of that evolution.Design/methodology/approachThe approach and research methodology adopted for this paper depends primarily on a long-term critical literature review and content analysis that took place over the past 25 years concerning key reports, journal articles, books and other publications on cultural heritage on the Arab world.FindingsThe paper's main findings centers on presenting current practices/production on cultural heritage which are divided into two categories in terms of production of knowledge: an abundant engagement with a technical sphere dominated with concern for documentation and conservation technology of cultural heritage; and a scarce engagement with epistemological and theoretical spheres that delves into processes of cultural heritage definition, consumption and continuity in the Arab world.Originality/valueThe paper attempts to engage in and commence a much-needed wider discussion on the historical transformation concerning knowledge production on cultural heritage in the Arab world and its related practices and processes. The paper emphasizes the significance of this engagement with theoretical spheres of conservation and calls for an expansion of such engagement in order to elevate the discourse and debate on cultural heritage in the Arab world.

“…This paper argues that in addition to critically evaluate how policy ideas travel (McCann and Ward 2011;Peck and Theodore 2015) it is necessary to examine how they interact with other key dimensions in the policy process. Debates in the new institutionalism literature argue for greater attention to the role of ideas and their mutually constitutive dynamics with interests and institutions (Béland and Cox 2011;Dilworth and Weaver 2020). An analytical framework based on the interactions between ideas, interests and institutions is applied to examine how the Porto Maravilha megaproject was 'arrived at' and implemented during its first years up to 2016.…”

“…A combinatory perspective drawn from how policies are arrived and the role of ideas in policy making, both reasoned on a socio-constructivist approach, offers the opportunity to acknowledge the influence of ideas in circulation while paying close attention to the processes through which they are assembled, transformed and institutionalized in policy outputs. As new institutionalists have noted (Béland and Cox 2011;Blyth 2002;Dilworth and Weaver 2020), such approach must be attentive to the mutually constitutive relationship between ideas, interests and institutions, or 'the three I's', which provide the analytical framework employed to examine the case study.…”

On the surface, contemporary urban megaprojects suggest a convergence in form: office towers, hotels, museums, shopping and renewed public spaces often involving transnational firms and renowned architectsHowever, framing local policiesas instances of a 'serial reproduction' of iconic landscapes obscures more than reveals how circulating planning models are reproduced and institutionalized. To this effect, this paper suggests a complementary approach between the literature of policy mobilities and new institutionalism focusing on how policies are 'arrived at' and the role of ideas in the policy process. An analytical framework is applied to the case study of a large-scale waterfront regeneration programme in Rio de Janeiro to examine the mutual evolvement between ideas, interests and institutions. The paper concludes by stressing the importance ofpaying attention to how policy knowledge is assembled, institutionalized and interests identified.
