Ontological (In)security and State Denial of Historical Crimes: Turkey and Japan
Ayşe Zarakol · 2010
Catalogue summary
Comparing Turkey's denial of the Armenian Genocide with Japan's response to Second World War crimes, this article tests theories of state ontological security. It argues that historical context and international pressures shape how states manage identity-threatening pasts.
Why this matters
It offers a comparative political framework for studying genocide denial without treating recognition debates as isolated diplomatic events.
