Abstract Collective memories form important mental frameworks within which people position themselves and subsequently act. This means that memory studies can tell us a great deal about the world we live in, also in the most literal sense: since shared memories are an indispensable element of the nation as an 'imagined community', to use Benedict Anderson's famous description, they can also have an impact on international relations. This paper explores the generally underestimated relationship between discourses of memory, the politics of memory and geopolitics.
