The question of Complicity: Japan’s early postures toward war crimes and war responsibility in the aftermath of the Second World War; Barak Kushner.This innovative volume examines the nexus between war crimes trials and the pursuit of collaborators in post-war Asia. Global standards of behaviour in time of war underpinned the prosecution of Japanese military personnel in Allied courts in Asia and the Pacific. Japan’s contradictory roles in the Second World War as brutal oppressor of conquered regions in Asia and as liberator of Asia from both Western colonialism and stultifying tradition set the stage for a tangled legal and political debate: just where did colonized and oppressed peoples owe their loyalties in time of war? And where did the balance of responsibility lie between individuals and nations? But global standards jostled uneasily with the pluralism of the Western colonial order in Asia, where legal rights depended on race and nationality. In the end, these limits led to profound dissatisfaction with the trials process, despite its vast scale and ambitious intentions, which has implications until today.World Histories of Crime, Culture and Violence,2730-9630Asia—HistoryCrime—Sociological aspectsWorld War, 1939-1945Law—HistoryCriminal lawAsian Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715000Crime and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B3000History of World War II and the Holocausthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717110Legal Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/726000Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R13006Asia—History.Crime—Sociological aspects.World War, 1939-1945.Law—History.Criminal law.Asian History.Crime and Society.History of World War II and the Holocaust.Legal History.Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law.341.690268von Lingen Kerstinedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910254767503321Debating Collaboration and Complicity in War Crimes Trials in Asia, 1945-19562281409UNINA
