<p>If the twentieth century is remembered as a century of war, Asia is certainly central to that story. In Northeast Asia, where issues of historical injustices seem to have generated a vicious circle of accusation and defense, overcoming historical </p>
<p>animosities has become one of the most important issues for the future of the region. </p>
<p>Last year, the Yomiuri Shimbun, the largest daily paper in Japan, conducted an unprecedented year-long project analyzing the responsibility of Japanese leaders in Pacific war of World War II. The results of the project were published in August in the newspaper and then in a book that was published, both in Japanese and English in late 2006. Mr. Tennichi will discuss the project and the paper's findings. The newspaper articles can be found at <a href="http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/features/0007/">http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/features/0007/</a>. You can read the Financial Times review of the Yomiuri Shimbun book at <a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/b4e75222-95d6-11db-9976-0000779e2340.html">http://www.ft.com/cms/s/b4e75222-95d6-11db-9976-0000779e2340.html</a></p>
<p>In 2003, Shorenstein APARC hosted a conference on issues of historical injustice in Korea. The conference produced a book, released in November 2006, titled "Rethinking Historical Injustice and Reconciliation in Northeast Asia: The Korean Experience". Our director, Gi-Wook Shin and Chunghee Sarah Soh, who wrote one of the chapters of the book, will present their research in the second panel.</p>
