Reconciliation Between China and Japan: A Search for Solutions

Self-description: "In August 2006, the Department of International Relations at Australian National University will host a workshop on reconciliation between Japan and China. Preparatory to the organization of that workshop, we invite you to brainstorm the topic electronically through this blog. [...] The purpose of this blog [est. 15 Jan 2006 - ed.] is to invite discussion and debate about the best ways to encourage reconciliation between Japan and China. Our objective is to produce concrete and realistic policy proposals for enhancing security cooperation between the two Asian powers, especially with respect to their participation in the Six Party Talks on the North Korean nuclear issue and in the potential East Asian Community. [...] This blog invites comments focused on how relations between Japan and China can be improved, bilateral conflicts resolved, and problems ameliorated. Some might say that reconciliation or not is exclusively a problem for Chinese and Japanese to sort out between themselves, but to the extent that the two countries fail to cooperate on East Asian issues, all countries in the region pay a price. So we all have a stake in encouraging reconciliation between Japan and China."
