International Relations Vol.37 No.1, March 2023, pp.25-47 (33)Summary: This article explores the link between collective memory and state behaviour in international relations. In that regard, it develops a new concept entitled 'temporal security'. Building on the existing ontological security literature, it extends a temporal understanding to its underlying identity concept. Countries are now assumed to be temporal-security seekers vis-a-vis a 'significant historical other' from their past. Decision makers thus enter into a self-reflective conversation with their country's 'collective memory' when choosing courses of action.
