Historians and scholars of international relations examine the impact of collective memories after 9/11 on international affairs and foreign policies, some approaching it from a theoretical perspective and others with empirical case studies. Among the topics are collective memory as a factor in political culture and international relations, collective memory and German-Polish relations, who speaks for the Jews, tales of power and tales of experience in contemporary history, and remembering and forgetting in Chinese-US relations after 9/11.
