N2 - The memory of past atrocity lingers like a ghost at the table of democracy. Injustices carried out in the past-from massacres and murder to repression and detention-embitter societies and distort their structures so that the process of establishing and running a democracy carries an extra burden. This volume examines societies at various stages of dealing with the memory of the past, from China, Mongolia, Indonesia and the Baltic States, where bitter memories of death and persecution still intrude, to Finland, where the civil war of 1918 has finally been accepted as a distant national tragedy.
