Their essays also touch on the significance of civil society efforts to advance peaceful reconciliation and the social and political forces that have worked to frustrate such efforts since 1945. At its core, this volume explores the political significance in the gap between Korean and Japanese civil society versus governmental efforts to resolve issues lingering from the Pacific War in Asia; the significance of cultural as well as political efforts to understanding historical and contemporary relations among Northeast Asian neighboring states; and specific factors—such as textbook reform, revised school curricula, and civil society education efforts— that are working to ameliorate the heretofore deadlocked “history wars.”.World politicsAsia—Politics and governmentAsia—HistoryJapan—HistoryKorea—HistoryPolitical Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080Asian Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911110Asian Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715000History of Japanhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715020History of Koreahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715030JapanRelationsKoreaKoreaRelationsJapanEast AsiaHistoryJapanHistory1912-1945East AsiaHistory, Military20th centuryEast AsiafastJapanfastKoreafastHistory.fastMilitary history.fastWorld politics.Asia—Politics and government.Asia—History.Japan—History.Korea—History.Political History.Asian Politics.Asian History.History of Japan.History of Korea.320.09Lewis Michaeledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910150188703321History Wars' and Reconciliation in Japan and Korea2205567UNINA
