This work seeks to provide a comprehensive and accessible survey of
the international dimension of trauma and memory and its
manifestations in various cultural contexts. Drawing together
contributions and case studies from scholars around the globe, the
book explores the international political dimension of feeling,
suffering, forgetting, remembering and memorializing traumatic
events and to investigate how they function as social practices for
overcoming trauma and creating social change. Divided into two
sections, the book maps out the different theoretical debates and
then moves on to examine emerging themes such as ontological
security, social change, gender, religion, foreign policy &
natural disasters. Throughout the chapters, the editors consider
the social, political and ethical implications of forgetting and
remembering traumatic events in world politics Showcasing how
trauma and memory deepen our understanding of IR, this work will be
of great interest to students and scholars of international
relations, memory and trauma studies and security studies.

Revisiting the process of political community building in Estonia,
Latvia and Lithuania, this book analyzes the roles that
international actors have played in these processes and assesses
the unintended consequences of this involvement. The study differs
from other works on ethnic minorities and nationalism in the former
Soviet Union by exploring the use of minority rights discourse and
the salience of historical memory. Case studies examine the
transformation of nationalism in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania -
all former Soviet republics - which have experienced Soviet
nationalities policy first-hand. Primarily intended for an academic
audience and practitioners interested in promoting tolerance in
multi-ethnic societies, the book's historical narrative will also
appeal to readers with a general interest in the former Soviet
Union and post-Communism.
This volume analyzes crises in International Relations (IR) in an
innovative way. Rather than conceptualizing a crisis as something
unexpected that has to be managed, the contributors argue that a
crisis needs to be analyzed within a wider context of change: when
new discourses are formed, communities are (re)built, and new
identities emerge. Focusing on Ukraine, the book explore various
questions related to crisis and change, including: How are crises
culturally and socially constructed? How do issues of agency and
structure come into play in Ukraine? Which subjectivities were
brought into existence by Ukraine crisis discourses? Chapters
explore the participation of women in Euromaidan, identity shifts
in the Crimean Tatar community and diaspora politics, discourses
related to corruption, anti-Soviet partisan warfare, and the
annexation of Crimea, as well as long distance impacts of the
crisis.

Feminist Conversations is a forum of cross-cultural communication
among women from different parts of the world, as well as from
different life paths. It draws on several disciplines, including
gender studies, psychology and political science, to gain insight
into the following questions: Do post-transitional societies become
more women-friendly as they become more democratic? Which
strategies of empowerment can women use to obtain political voice
and improve their everyday lives? How do they cope with traumatic
experiences and memories? Women's rights activists and feminist
scholars from Lithuania, Armenia, South Africa, Guatemala and the
United States reflect on the productivity of different practices
for increasing political standing, the efficiency of different
methods of dealing with gender violence and the different
empowerment mechanisms of coping with trauma. The authors engage in
a dialogue about the applicability of these practices, methods and
mechanisms to various countries and cultures.
The fact that Auschwitz, Hiroshima, and Rwanda cast ominous shadows
forward into the future compels us to confront these horrific
results of the human head, heart, and hand. In Genocidal
Temptation, Robert Frey presents a compelling, integrated focus
directed toward the Nazi killing programs, American atomic bombings
in Japan, Tutsi massacres in Rwanda, Soviet genocide in Lithuania,
and other mass killing and repression programs.
