A Case Study of Pakistani Handicraft Industry Yongzhong Yang, Mohsin Shafi * ID , Xiaoting Song and Ruo Yang Business School, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China; [email protected] (Y.Y.); [email protected] (X.S.); [email protected] (R.Y.) * Correspondence: mohsin_shafi[email protected]; Tel.: +86-130-32866815 Received: 29 January 2018; Accepted: 20 April 2018; Published: 25 April 2018 Abstract: Cultural heritage embodied in traditional crafts is an integral part of any nation which reflects the culture and tradition of a particular region. Although the importance of handicraft has been widely recognized, the literature regarding preservation of traditional craft is scarce. The present paper aimed to explore and identify issues faced by traditional craftsmanship in developing countries and to address those issues in order to contribute to the sustainability of traditional craft heritage and ensure continuous transmission of craft skills and knowledge from generation to generation. Our study identified several key issues which poses substantial challenges to the preservation of traditional craft heritage in developing countries. In order to add empirical evidence, we examined the case of Pakistani handicraft industry that provided further understanding of highlighted issues which traditional craft heritage face. We have suggested some policies to promote, develop and preserve the traditional craft heritage. The significance of these policy suggestions is underlined with the case study of Pakistan. Keywords: preservation; cultural heritage; handicrafts; challenges 1. Introduction The handicraft sector plays a vital role in income and employment generation and has also been recognized worldwide as a tool for poverty reduction [1–5].

It is the way we understand the world and the means by which we shape it. It is rooted in our cultural identities and provides a foundation of wisdom and knowledge upon which to build sustainable development for all. Intangible cultural heritage is a precious asset for communities, groups and individuals across the world. Only they can safeguard it and pass it on to tomorrow’s gen- erations. The responsibility of international organizations and governments is to support these efforts in every way possible. This is the role of UNESCO’s 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, which provides a unique opportunity to dis- cover and sustain living cultural expressions from across the world. The Convention serves as a tool for social cohesion and also helps to guide us in implementing practices that are vital for achieving the Millennium Develop- ment Goals. The objectives of the Convention are clear: intangible cultural heritage should promote mutual respect among communities; it should support human, social and economic development; and it should be compatible with human rights. More than 140 States have rallied around these goals. We also know that intangible cultural heritage is vulnerable to the pressures of change. This makes safeguarding all the more vital. 2 LiSt of intangibLe CultUraL Heritage in need of Urgent SafegUarding The fifth and sixth sessions of the Intergovernmental Committee for the the Convention Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage were held in Nairobi serves as a tool (November 2010) and Bali (November 2011).

    IntangIble Cultural HerItage in need of Urgent SafegUarding 2012 2013 IntangIble Cultural HerItage in need of Urgent SafegUarding 2012 2013 Foreword IrINA bOKOVa direCtor-general avassard of UNESCo r / Michel o SC NE © U No society can flourish without culture – and no development can be sustainable without it. Culture holds answers to many of the questions that societies face today. Intangible cultural heritage has a vital role to play in this respect, as the living cultural practices, expressions and knowledge systems that provide meaning to communities, that explain the world and shape it. The power of intangible cultural heritage is still far too overlooked – despite the benefits demonstrated by numerous studies, showing that communities around the world rely on living heritage to tackle a wide range of challenges, from food scarcity, environmental change and health to education, conflict prevention and reconciliation. The 2013 celebration of the tenth anniversary of the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage was an opportunity to highlight the power of intangible cultural heritage across globe. This celebra- tion provided an empowering platform for dialogue and cooperation, where all communities were able to share experiences and reflections on an equal footing. This publication opens a window onto some of these community practices. 2 intangible CUltUral Heritage in need of Urgent SafegUarding To safeguard this living heritage, UNESCO has designed a global capacity- as we celebrate building strategy to help countries create institutional and professional envi- the Convention and ronments that encourage the sustainable safeguarding of intangible cultural its anniversary, heritage and that promote wider public understanding and support.
