:This article constitutes the first systematic attempt to synthesize the role of politics as an affecting dynamic during the negotiation of cultural property disputes. The article limits its scope to disputes concerning the ownership of cultural artifacts between states and museums settled through negotiation and to the subsequent claims for the return of the contested objects. The discussion focuses on four ways in which the negotiation process is affected when states act as claimants, including the discourse and argumentation used, the available means to pressure the other party to negotiate, the possible political interventions, and the international political scene and its effect on the development of the dispute. Through the examination of multiple case studies, it is argued that in such disputes, several elements related to the role of politics are at interplay affecting the evolution of the negotiation process. Finally, it is also argued that the role of politics as an affecting dynamic during the negotiation process is multi-dimensional, consisting of many different interrelated dynamics that can potentially alter the course of the process.

文化的政治与政治的文化：考察政治和外交在文化财产纠纷中的作用

：本文首次系统地尝试综合政治在文化财产争议谈判中作为影响动力的作用。该条将其范围限制在国家和博物馆之间通过谈判解决的有关文物所有权的争议以及随后要求归还有争议的物品的权利。讨论的重点是当国家作为索赔人时，谈判过程受到影响的四种方式，包括使用的话语和论据、向另一方施压的可用手段、可能的政治干预以及国际政治环境及其影响关于争端的发展。通过对多个案例研究的审查，认为在此类纠纷中，与政治作用有关的几个因素相互影响，影响着谈判进程的演变。最后，还有人认为，政治在谈判过程中作为影响动力的作用是多维的，由许多不同的相互关联的动力组成，这些动力可能会改变谈判进程。
