Geopolitics of World Heritage: Cape Verde and Mozambique in the UNESCO

This paper aims to understand how to approach power and sovereignty in the current context of globalization in non-Western countries: Cape Verde and Mozambique. A reflection based on world heritage, understood as a dispositif that guides the ways in which territories are represented on the global scale, will be presented. A critical geopolitics stance is taken before the analysis of these dispositifs for the selected countries. thus, a discourse-based stance that seeks to understand how power relations are built to categorize internal and external territories.
