Why do some governments and societies attach great significance to
a particular anniversary year whereas others seem less inclined to
do so? What motivates the orchestration of elaborate commemorative
activities in some countries? What are they supposed to accomplish,
for both domestic and international audience? In what ways do
commemorations in Asia Pacific fit into the global memory culture
of war commemoration? In what ways are these commemorations
intertwined with current international politics? This book presents
the first large-scale analysis of how countries in the Asia Pacific
and beyond commemorated the seventieth anniversaries of the end of
World War II. Consisting of in-depth case studies of China, Taiwan,
Korea, Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, United States, Russia,
and Germany, this unique collective effort demonstrates how
memories of the past as reflected in public commemorations and
contemporary politics-both internal and international-profoundly
affect each other.
