This volume focuses on the uses of collective memory in transatlantic relations between the United States, and western and central European nations in the period from the Cold War to the present day.
This volume focuses on the uses of collective memory in transatlantic relations between the United States, and Western and Central European nations in the period from the Cold War to the present day. Sitting at the intersection of international relations, history, memory studies and various "area" studies, Memory in Transatlantic Relations examines the role of memory in an international context, including the ways in which policy and decision makers utilize memory; the relationship between trauma, memory and international politics; the multiplicity of actors who shape memory; and the role of memory in the conflicts in post-Cold War Europe.

Thematically organized and presenting studies centered on the U.S., Hungary, France, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the authors explore the built environment (memorials) and performances of memory (commemorations), shedding light on the ways in which memories are mobilized to frame relations between the U.S. and nations in Western and Central Europe. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and historians with interests in memory studies, foreign policy and international relations.

Kryštof Kozák is Head of the Department of North American Studies at the Institute of International Studies, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic and author of Facing Asymmetry: Bridging the Peripheral Gap in U.S.-Mexican Relations.

Paul Bauer is Assistant Professor at the Institute for International Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University Prague, Czech Republic. Allison Lynn Wanger is Visiting Assistant Professor in the American Studies Program at Miami University, Ohio, U.S.
