“…Lind has suggested, however, that apologizing leads to domestic backlashes. 146 This backlash alarms rivals 147 and is counterproductive to peacemaking. 148 Her analyses, though, leave out the prospect of a mutual apology.…”

Interstate rivalry develops as a series of steps, each raising the likelihood that states will use violence to settle disputes. Why rivals are born feuding presents a major gap in our understanding of rivalry. The Sudanese rivalry provides the chance to study rivalry together with state birth. To disentangle issues at stake, the African Union must provide the capacity and security guarantees for rivalry de-escalation. Recent violence in South Sudan is shaped by the rivalry with Sudan, and because we see similar issues throughout Africa, the African Union must learn from the Sudanese rivalry and step in before it and other budding rivalries entrench.

“…In contrast, liberal or left-wing parties tend to express respect for internationalism or universalism, rather than nationalism, in their policies. This ideology is reflected in their sincere desire to come to terms with Japan's wartime history (Lind 2008). Therefore, it follows that the governments of conservative parties (but not liberal parties) attempt to deny the negative aspects of their nation's history.…”

“…In that sense, when and why some Japanese PMs choose to visit the war-linked shrine in the first place presents an interesting research question. However, few international relations (IR) scholars have investigated the reasons for the visits as thoroughly as they have examined the effects of the visits (Lind 2008).…”

Denial of History? Yasukuni Visits as Signaling

Under what conditions would Japanese leaders visit the controversial Yasukuni Shrine and why? Previous studies have focused primarily on the domestic benefits and effects of such visits, claiming that leaders employ visits to follow their own conservative ideology and gain domestic political support. Given the harsh international criticism that tends to ensue, however, political leaders should also consider the cost and international effects of such visits. This study proposes three necessary conditions for such visits: a conservative ruling party, a government enjoying high popularity, and Japan's perception of a Chinese threat. With regard to the latter, a security threat from China has allowed Japan to use these visits as a credible signal of its resolve against China. Comparative analyses of Japanese cabinets after the mid-1980s support this argument.

“…The international dynamics of political memory are also under investigated (Berger 2012;Lind 2009). To a certain extent, the effect of memory in interstate relations and in foreign policy is the cumulative effect of political memory at all of the other levels of analysis, from the individual up to the dynamics of domestic politics and internal debates.…”

Collective memory, politics, and the influence of the past: the politics of memory as a research paradigm

Politicians frequently make use of mythologized understandings of the past to mobilize memory as an instrument of politics in the present. Despite the postwar Òmemory boomÓ collective remembrance remains a slippery concept. In politics collective memory exerts its influence both from the bottom up, as interpretations of the past affect the identities and understandings of political elites, as well as from the top down, as statements by public figures place certain events into the national consciousness while silencing or forgetting others. In addition to summarizing the existing literature, this integrative review proposes a discursive conception of the politics of memory. I argue that research into political memory should focus on (1) the substantive content of collective memory as expressed by actors within state institutions, and (2) on the interactive channels through which ideas about the past are conveyed, disputed, silenced and negotiated outside these formal settings. I substantiate this argument Ð and demonstrate the relevance of collective remembrance to politics Ð by drawing examples of the role that memories of World War II continue to play Italian and Slovenian internal politics, as well as in their relations with each other.
