Abstract

Problem povijesti u Japanu predstavlja jedan od najznačajnijih društvenih raskola u japanskom društvu. Ovaj problem se je posebice aktualizirao nakon što je na vlast u Japanu došao Shinzo Abe, najznačajnija politička ličnost modernog Japana. Unatoč tomu, problem suočavanja s prošlošću u Japanu nije novi proces, nego je posljedica procesa koji traju od japanske kapitulacije 1945. godine. Veliku ulogu u ovom produbljivanju ovog problema je imala politička struktura u Japanu, a posebice odnos dominantne Liberalno demokratske stranke prema nasljeđu japanske kolonijalne ekspanzije. Dominacija Liberalno demokratske stranke japanskim političkim sustavom onemogućuje da japansko društvo uspješno probavi tamne aspekte japanske prošlosti. Problem sa suočavanjem s prošlošću u Japanu je dodatno kompliciran time što zemlja susreće problem dugotrajne ekonomske stagnacije, sve nestabilnije sigurnosne situacije u regiji, ali i željom političkih elita da se Japan oslobodi okova poslijeratnog političkog poretka. Kao posljedica toga, za rješavanje problema povijesti u Japanu će biti potrebno puno posla i angažmana svih segmenata društva.

Abstract (english)

The problem of history in Japan is one of the most important social divisions in Japanese society. This problem was particularly topical after Shinzo Abe, the most important political figure in modern Japan, came to power in Japan. Nevertheless, the problem of dealing with the past in Japan is not a new process, but is the result of a process that has lasted since Japanese capitulation in 1945. The political structure in Japan played a major role in deepening of this problem, especially the relationship between the dominant Liberal Democratic Party and the legacy of the Japanese colonial expansion. The dominance of the Liberal Democratic Party in the Japanese political system prevents Japanese society from successfully digesting the dark aspects of Japan's past. The problem with facing the past in Japan is further complicated by the country facing the problem of long-standing economic stagnation, the increasingly unstable security situation in the region, and the desire of political elites to free Japan from the shackles of the post-war political order. As a result,to solve the problem of history in Japan will require a lot of work and engagement from all segments of society.
