Providing a novel multi-disciplinary theorization of memory
politics, this insightful Handbook brings varied literatures into a
focused dialogue on the ways in which the past is remembered and
how these influence transnational, interstate, and global politics
in the present. With case studies from Africa, East and Southeast
Asia, Europe, South America, and the United States, the Handbook
focuses on the political features of historical memory in
international relations. Chapters examine key concepts of memory
politics, including accountability, commemoration and
memorialization, the Europeanization of memory, and the politics of
trauma and victimhood, as well as analyzing different sites of
memory, from the human body and memorial sites to media, film, and
television. It also answers essential questions such as who and
what determines the relevance of the past in the present; how does
memory become a political question; and what are the political
effects and ethical implications of its mobilization? Exploring the
links between the politics of memory, international ethics, law,
and diplomacy, this stimulating Handbook will be essential reading
for students and scholars of politics and international relations,
cultural studies, history, and transitional justice. Its discussion
of notable agents and practices of memory politics will also be
beneficial for practitioners working in human rights, politics, and
public policy.
