Sixty-five years after the end of the Asia-Pacific War it is possible to look beyond the national dimensions of the conflict to gain a perspective on the experiences of the war and its aftermath for the peoples of the Pacific. Timed to fall in the same month as the commemoration of the Battle for Australia, held in Australia on the second Wednesday in September, the Symposium will explore the immediate consequences of the war, the longer term developments that have hindered or contributed to reconciliation and the place of memorial diplomacy in rebuilding international relations. |
