CFP: THE KOREAN PENINSULA, A MULTIDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVE, INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM


The Korean Peninsula, A Multidisciplinary Perspective. International Symposium

June 21-22, 2023 The Bar-Ilan University (hybrid)


Last year (2022) the Korean Studies conference commemorated 60 years of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Korea and some Middle Eastern countries, including Israel. This year, the conference’s focus will be on the Korean Peninsula from a multidisciplinary perspective.

The security threat from the North that South Korea is dealing with, considered to be a major topic in the field of Korean Studies in Israel for many years. To broaden the discussion, the 2023 Korean conference will include other challenges and themes that both Koreas face, including (but not limited):
  1. The demographical challenges, solutions, and obstacles South Korea faces in the last few years. Is it an obstacle at all?
  2. The economic policy. How should the government, financial and industrial sectors adapt to the new global changes? What is the role of China in these economic changes?
  3. Cultural aspects. President Yoon Suk-yeol declared that he will invest three billion dollars in South Korean culture. How should Korea balance its investments in culture? Should we change our soft power perspective in the coming years?
  4. Historical preservation. What efforts and aspects of preservation are taking place in contemporary Korea? How should Korea's historical assets be presented to the public?
  5. The security challenges. The new North Korean drone incident and the debate on how South Korea should develop its own nuclear capabilities, raise questions about South Korea's defense policy.
  6. The influence of populism in the Korean political arena. Political discourse, and the use of social media.
  7. Historical narratives between Korea and its neighbors.
Asian Studies at Bar-Ilan University invite scholars from the humanities and the social sciences to discuss these issues. To offer new perspectives on these issues, and or other relevant themes that concern Korea (North and South). We will also invite comparison discussion between Korea and other global cases.

Individual presenters may submit an abstract of 300 words and a one-paragraph short CV. For panel proposals, please submit a one-page proposal and a short CV of the speakers. Email the information or if you have any questions to Dr. Alon Levkowitz (alon.levkowitz@biu.ac.il) by April 1, 2023.

Successful applicants will be notified by April 15, 2023.

On the evening of June 21st, we will host an opening dinner for all participants. Conformation of attendance is required. The conference panels will take place on June 22 at the Bar-Ilan University campus.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE. UNITED NATIONS AND KOREAN WAR (1950-1953). POLITICS, WAR AND PEACE




International Conference:

United Nations and Korean War (1950-1953): Politics, War and Peace

21-24 October 2022, Pusan National University, Korea


After World War II, the geopolitical tension of East Asia, especially the Korean peninsula became critical. The beginning of the Cold War between two different ideologies of Communism and Democracy was eventually visualised through the military conflict of the Korean War (1950-1953). The United Nations (UN) dispatched soldiers from sixteen countries as well as medical support from six nations. Then, what is the relationship between the United Nations and the Korean War? Which countries were involved in the war? What were the political and international issues? How was the war seen to outsiders? What kind of grassroots narratives did the soldiers, families and Koreans have?

The aim of this conference is to explore the involvement of the United Nations for ‘the Forgotten War’ through the various case studies of individual, group, or nation. The theme can be analyzed in a multidisciplinary approach of history, politics, anthropology, sociology, war strategy, human movement, medicine, refugee, POWs, Busan studies, unification policy, education, and human rights. If you are interested or your current research is on the subject or relevant to the Korean War, we invite your paper for the international conference in 2022.


Proposed streams:
  1. Policy of the UN for Korean War: The involvement of the United Nations (UN) to the Korean War was significant for South Korea (positively) and North Korea (negatively). How was the decision made so early? Who was involved in the process? How was the policy implemented internationally?
  2. Human Movements, POWs and Refugees: The war directly impacted the relocation of the local people (6.3 million).The waralso caused many POWs and refugees. How was the geographical landscape of the human movements? What was the situation of refugees? Were the POWs treated fairly?
  3. War Strategy and Battles: The various war strategies were applied at the battlers of the Korean War between the army, navy (the marine corps) and air force of China, Russia, UN, North and South Koreas. How was the strategy changed? What was the turning point for each other? Which battles were significant? What about the condition of retrogression?
  4. Narratives of Victims and Casualties (Soldiers and families): The war generated many victims (death and wound) which affected the emotional and mental condition of family members. What was the story of individual involvement? How do they remember the East Asian war? What is the post-war life of soldiers? Do they have any story in relation with Korean people?
  5. Human Rights and Welfare (medicine, orphans, and education): Under the military situation of the Korea war, there were the various activities of international, public and NGO organisations in the sphere of human rights. How was the medical service provided? How were orphans managed? Was any activity of education continued?
  6. Theory and Method in Unification and Peace Process: Since the Korean War has been 70 years and remained as an unfinished war, what kind of theory or method can be adopted for the development of Korean Unification? How can the peace process take a place for the future of both Koreas?

CFP: FINANCIALISATION IN DEVELOPING AND EMERGING ECONOMIES: MANIFESTATIONS, DRIVERS AND IMPLICATIONS


Financialisation in developing and emerging economies:
Manifestations, Drivers and Implications

Overview

The Special Issue aims to provide an assessment of the financialisation process in developing and emerging economies (DEEs). It invites contributions on the theoretical and empirical specificities of the manifestations, drivers and implications of this process in these economies. It encourages interdisciplinary work, both in theory and method, and is particularly interested in papers, which make a conceptual contribution to the literature.

The analysis of financialisation in DEEs is relatively novel (Bonizzi, 2013). It is rooted in earlier discussions about the risks of financial globalisation and liberalisation, including the Latin American Structuralist literature on the hegemonic role of the US dollar (Belluzzo, 1997; Braga, 1997; de Mello, 1997; Fiori, 1997; Miranda, 1997; Tavares, 1997; Tavares & Melin, 1997); the debate on capital account liberalisation and capital market integration (Cohen, 1996; Rodrik, 1998; Stiglitz & Ocampo, 2008; Strange, 1994); the Minsky-inspired currency and boom bust dynamics of financial crisis in developing economies (Arestis & Glickman, 2002; de Paula & Alves, 2000; Dymski, 1999; Kregel, 1998; Schroeder, 2002); and the critique of financial liberalisation and integration of DEEs (Akyuz & Boratav, 2005; Barbosa‐Filho, 2005; Crotty & Lee, 2005; Frenkel & Rapetti, 2009; Grabel, 2003; O’Connell, 2005; Palma, 1998; Taylor, 1998).
