“…The Court methodology is flawed in a number of ways. It fails to take into account the different historical realities of European states, which were apparent during the discussions on the final text of the EU's FD (Cajani 2011). While in many states prohibition of Holocaust denial still serve the need to protect the Jewish population against incitement to hatred and discrimination, as evidenced also by the Court's jurisprudence, the UK government, for instance, objected to the need to single out this crime on the basis that it does not constitute the primary tool of anti-Semitism (Pech 2009).…”

“…As Tony Judt memorably put it, Holocaust recognition became 'our contemporary European entry ticket', established as 'the very definition and guarantee of the continent's restored humanity' 134. This promotion has taken diverse forms: in 2008 an EU Framework Declaration declared that member states should make denial, or even gross trivialisation, of the Holocaust a criminal offence, thus adding to an increasingly dense thicket of international legal stipulations seeking to police the boundaries of collective memory 135. There are contradictory currents here.…”

Forthcoming online September 2013This article explores the relationship between international history and memory studies. It argues that collective memory demands to be taken much more seriously than it has been by international historians to date and clarifies what this might involve. It comprises four sections. The first provides an overview of the growth of memory studies, identifying some recent trends and conceptual issues. The second explores how international historians have engaged with it hitherto, revealing that while memory has emerged onto the agenda of the discipline, analysis of it still remains rather patchy and underdeveloped. It also contextualises a putative turn to memory against the on-going ?cultural turn? in international history. The third lays out a research agenda by identifying some of the core topics to be differentiated in the study of memory within international history, exploring the conceptual issues these entail and pointing to relevant resources from within the memory-studies literature that speak to them. A final section anticipates and discusses some potential objections to the argument of the article. It concludes that taking the challenge of memory studies seriously may demand a thoroughgoing reorientation of our practice.preprintPeer reviewe
