CFP: KOREA EUROPE REVIEW ISSUE 2 «IMPOSSIBLE TRIANGULATION»

Korea Europe Review,

Issue 2 «Impossible Triangulation»

The Korea Europe Review is now inviting submission proposals for Issue 2 forthcoming in May 2022.

The issue is titled “Impossible Triangulation” in which we seek to explore the complex and increasingly multidimensional field of regional, international and global discourses, networks, alliances and power shifts afflicting the Korean peninsula.

We are especially interested in:

a) an evaluation of present developments of new old and new forms of political, cultural, social, economic, and epistemic hegemony in South-East Asia, both on a theoretical-conceptional level as well as in terms of concrete phenomena of transregional, international and indeed global power structures. This also includes the critical assessment of the possible future impact of these developments for the Korean peninsula but also for the larger (and indeed international) context of the so-called South-East Asian “security triangle”.

b) on a soft-power level, the creation of new boundaries through the appropriation, translation and reconfiguration of linguistic, cultural and religious practices and techniques as well as historical narratives throughout South-East Asia and its wider neighborhood (e.g. China’s “Belt and Road Initiative”, India’s “Act East Policy”, Taiwan’s “New Southbound Policy”, South Korea’s “New Southern Policy, or the “Indo-Pacific Vision of Japan, the US and Australia).

The deadline for submissions for the second number of the Korea Europe Review has been extended. We welcome your abstracts for articles until 15 October 2021 and full articles by 15 January 2022.

If you have any queries concerning your proposal or are unsure whether it fits KER’s thematic scope, please contact our editors at editors@korea-europe-review.org

Please note that in addition to calls with particular thematic foci, the Korea Europe Review welcomes submissions on a continual year-round basis.
