It is said that the twentieth century was a century of war. War and colonization can leave deep divides between nations. In the case of Japan, this antagonism manifested as a result of historical issues. There have also been moments in postwar history where efforts were made to overcome the hostility surrounding these problems. We can see times that featured attempts at reconciliation and improvements in relations between Japan and China, as well as Japan and South Korea. However, these problems heated up in the twenty-first century, impacting not only relations with China and South Korea but also ties with the United States, South-East Asia, and Europe. This title examines the period from the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (the Tokyo Trial) to the normalization of relations between Japan and South Korea and between Japan and China.歴史教科書、靖国参拝、「従軍慰安婦」......様々な思いが絡み合う歴史認識問題。しかしそこには、関係悪化と修復とを繰り返してきた東アジア国際関係の複雑な歩みが存在した。日本政府は歴史認識問題とどのように向き合い、中国・韓国とどのように対話してきたのか。その過程を丁寧にたどり、日本の立脚点を模索する。. |
