Call For Papers
AKPS AT APSA 2012 – CALL FOR PAPER PROPOSALS
Submission Deadline: December 15, 2011
This year’s paper/panel themes are broadly defined partly due to the uncertainty associated with the number of panels that will be allocated to us by the APSA. Proposals dealing with any aspect of institutions and behavior in and around the Korean Peninsula or in the comparative setting where Korea is a part are welcome. Priority will be given to the papers proposing to develop general theory or hypothesis out of (or to test them using) Korean experiences. If we get more than one panel from the APSA, one panel (probably dealing with South Korean domestic politics) will be devoted to the main theme of the APSA meeting this year -- representation and renewal. Power is delegated to—or appropriated by—some to act in the name of others in representative democracies. I ask paper presenters to reconsider the normative ideals we attach to representation, the factors that impede the realization of those ideals in practice, and the potential for representative relationships --whether preserved, reformed, or radically overhauled—to translate citizens' collective aspirations into effective public initiatives. Would the quality of representation be improved if current practices were abandoned and re-forged? I call for research that asks what representative relationships can and cannot achieve and how they might be renewed, reformed, or retooled to achieve those ends.
Submit your proposal to Professor HeeMin Kim at recount01@snu.ac.kr.
Please note that all presenters must be dues-paying members of the AKPS (can join upon acceptance).

On October 12, 2009, Thomson Reuters announced the selection of North Korean Review (NKR)for inclusion in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). Many fine journals have been in existence for decades but have yet to be chosen for indexing in the prestigious SSCI. NKR made it in just five short years. Library Journal recommends that most public and university libraries subscribe to NKR in order to provide relevant information and analysis about the strategic role of North Korea in Northeast Asia. The mission of NKR, the only English-language journal in the world that focuses on North Korea, is to provide a forum for greater understanding of North Korean internal affairs and external relations with the United States and other countries. NKR addresses these issues in a new and unique way, through the lens of focused research, analysis, and dissemination of information. North Korean Review provides academic subscribers and policymakers with a more complex look at North Korea’s culture, history, economics, politics, religion, and international relations than is otherwise available to them through mainstream sources. And now, NKR is indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index making it even more important to subscribe and contribute to this cutting edge journal. For the articles in the fields of economics and management, send them to Suk H. Kim at ink@udmercy.edu. And for the works in the fields of political science, international relations and sociology, send them to Mikyoung Kim at mkkim@peace.hiroshima-cu.ac.jp. Questions?
