CHAIRPERSON
Prof Ted Hopf, Asia Research Institute, and Department of Political Science, National University of Singapore
ABSTRACT
Based on interviews with experts in Seoul and Tokyo, Dr Korostelina shows how the dynamics of conflict between Japan and South Korea can be analyzed based on the perspective of multiple symbolic boundaries and normative function of historical narrative. This approach goes beyond the duality of national boundary to unveil the complexity of the relations between two nations that opens possibilities for reconciliation.
