abstract: To explore how policy transfer from UNESCO to national governments is perceived by the different stakeholders involved with the management of World Heritage sites, a case study approach is used with a qualitative research methodology of in-depth interviews with the active stakeholders in Paramaribo, Suriname. With a variable-oriented and case-oriented cross-case analysis, it was found that the active stakeholders perceive the role of UNESCO as a needed watchdog to improve heritage management in Suriname. The role of UNESCO was not perceived as external interference or western imperialism. Policy transfer from UNESCO to Suriname was seen as obligated and occurred predominantly through direct copying of planning goals, content, instruments, and programs. Additionally, the participants identified eleven reasons why Suriname's heritage management was insufficient, indicated the existence of heritage dissonance towards the colonial heritage of Paramaribo, and the World Heritage status was not seen as important for tourism by the tourist industry.
