Throughout the chapters, the editors consider the social, political and ethical implications of forgetting and remembering traumatic events in world politicsShowcasing how trauma and memory deepen our understanding of IR, this work will be of great interest to students and scholars of international relations, memory and trauma studies and security studies.
