CFP: ASIANISM RETOLD, EDITED VOLUME


Call for paper for an edited volume:

‘ASIANISM RETOLD’

This is an open call to seek papers for a peer reviewed publication on, ‘Asianism Retold, which is under the Programme, ‘Asianism Retold’ - an initiative to understand the nature of common and distinct Asian values and identity; its role in the region’s development; Asia’s position in global geopolitics and in shaping the next set of international concepts. There have been several ideologies in the past on the question of Asian identity and values that have attempted to promote the political and economic unity and cooperation of Asian people. What can we learn by relooking in this in our current context. 

The broad sub-themes (but not limited to) of the Call for Paper are:
  • What are Asian Values? Are there cultural, political, economic Asian values? Why are they distinctly Asian values? Can one apply indicators of: a) history and pre-nationalism, b) Values that cut through boundaries between Asian countries, c) more suitable to address the needs of Asian people to decide if a value is Asian value or not; d) Any other indicators?
  • What is the value of understanding Asia from a value or identity perspective? What is the importance of particular values to the people of Asia? i.e How are these values beneficial to the development of the people of Asia? What are the values that contribute to this development and what are the values that are detrimental to development of the region? How are Asian values constructed in the background of the past, present and future? What values are fact, fiction, a romantic indulgence, or a political construct?
  • Has the COVID-19 crisis made us more aware of our Asian identities and values? What are the facilitating factors in this point of history and challenges to the dialogue of Asian values? In the aftermath of COVID-19, how can we ensure a sustained awareness of this value or identity system?
  • What are the implications of Asian values in geopolitics, foreign policy and development policy at the national, regional and global level? Are Asian values reflected in national policies, regional policies or global discourses? Have Asian values influenced the policy trajectories of nation states or global norms?
  • Has the “Asian way” created a new model of governance?  How can we re-look at an international concept like ‘human rights’ through the prism of Asian values? What is the relevance of an Asian values like ‘community’ to development frameworks? Is there an Asian model that is neither fully democratic nor fully authoritarian
  • What is the role of religion in Asian values? What is the role of religious values or practices to the future of development, climate change, or health care?
  • Is there such a thing as Pan Asianism? Can there be a coordinated approach and strategy to influence the next set of Asian values? How can we shape these futures of Asian values and what are the points of coding of these values at a societal level?
This book will be edited by Dr. Pramod Jaiswal (Director, Nepal Institute for International Cooperation and Engagement (NIICE)), Dr. Rebecca Kim Chunghee, Professor Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University; Neha Bansal (Ms.), Co-founder of Asianism Retold and One Asia Fellow at Harvard University; and Litcy Kurisinkal (Ms.), Co-founder of Asianism Retold, Harvard alumni and Human Rights Research Consultant.

CFP: KOREAN POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AT CROSSROADS: PAST, PRESENT AND THE FUTURE, IKSU ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2022



Korean Politics and International Relations at Crossroads: Past, Present and the Future, 

IKSU Annual International Conference 2022

University of Central Lancashire, UK, 7-8 January 2022


In the run up to the 2022 presidential election, the IKSU Annual International Conference will discuss how South Korea’s politics and international relations have evolved since the founding of the first Republic in 1948. The international relations of South Korea tend to heavily depend on each presidency, especially with regard to North Korea and relations with surrounding countries. In this sense, this conference will explore the past, present and future of South Korean politics and the international relations from a number of perspectives. After the conference, we will publish an edited volume based on the submitted papers. Papers from various disciplines are invited. Early career researchers and PhD candidates are also encouraged, along with academics at all stages of their career in a relevant field.

We plan to hold the first day of the conference at the main campus of the University of Central Lancashire, which is located in the city of Preston in the north of England, and the second day of the event at the Samlesbury Hall, a stunning 14th century manor house and gardens in Lancashire.


Schedule for Submission
  • Proposal (individual paper or panel) Submission Deadline: 20 April 2021
  • Acceptance Notice: 30 April 2021
  • Full Paper Submission Deadline (maximum 9,000 words including references): 30 November 2021
  • IKSU Annual International Conference: 7-8 January 2022
  • Revision Submission Deadline for Publication: 30 April 2022
As we plan to publish conference papers as an edited volume, previously published work will not be accepted.

Please send the proposal as an email attachment to Dr Sojin Lim at IKSU-AKS@uclan.ac.uk.

CFP: 2021 ASAK CONFERENCE “IDENTITY POLITICS AND POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS”


The 55th International Conference organized by

The American Studies Association of Korea (ASAK)

“Identity Politics and Political Institutions”


Venue: Sogang University, Seoul, South Korea

Date: October 29-30, 2021

Important Dates: 

Deadline for submitting proposals: April 30, 2021

Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2021

Submission of papers for the conference proceedings: August 31, 2021


The American Studies Association of Korea (ASAK) is pleased to announce an international conference on the theme, “Identity Politics and Political Institutions” to be held in Seoul, South Korea, from October 29 to 30, 2021. 

These are turbulent times in U.S. politics. The 2016 presidential election sparked heated confrontations that quickly spilled over from party politics into renewed debates on and divisions of every aspect of American society and its institutional underpinnings. Not only branches of federal and state government but also courts, police forces, schools, corporations, media outlets, and medical facilities have become battlegrounds of virulent polemics. Some see in these political developments an alarming fragmentation of society, worrying that the recent rise of identity politics has eroded shared political values and public confidence in American institutions. Others see the current crisis as symptomatic, instead, of a nation whose core institutions have time and again succumbed to an identity politics grounded in racial and gendered privilege, and warn that this deeply entrenched political praxis cannot be dismantled unless Americans commit to fundamental structural realignments comparable to the post-Civil War reconstruction, the New Deal, and the civil rights revolution. By the same token, some hope that the 2020 elections signal a return to normalcy in U.S. politics, while others hope to further new political trends that emerged during this moment of crisis—whether it be right-wing populism, democratic socialism, “woke” culture, or the Black Lives Matter movement. These starkly divergent assessments and outlooks prompt us to reconsider the nature of U.S. politics from every possible angle—whether cultural, social, institutional, or historical.

For this year’s conference, we are delighted to welcome Robin D. G. Kelley, Distinguished Professor of History and African American Studies and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History at UCLA, as our keynote speaker. Professor Kelley has received numerous awards and recognitions for his pioneering work on social movements, race relations, black culture, and radical thought in modern America. His prolific output includes acclaimed books such as Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists During the Great Depression (1990), Race Rebels: Culture, Politics, and the Black Working Class (1994), Yo’ Mama’s Disfunktional!: Fighting the Culture Wars in Urban America (1997), Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination (2002), Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original (2009), and Africa Speaks, America Answers: Modern Jazz in Revolutionary Times (2012). His forthcoming book Black Bodies Swinging: An American Postmortem situates the recent uprisings against endemic racism in the U.S. within a long history of racial capitalism, state-sanctioned racialized violence, and grassroots resistance. 

The 2021 ASAK conference calls for thought-provoking analyses of the divergent assessments and expectations that stem from continuing debates on identities and institutions in American politics. Scholars across multiple disciplines are encouraged to examine the current crisis in U.S politics and to consider its potential to produce new political movements and communities, and to reevaluate the relevance of ongoing struggles surrounding identities and institutions in American society. 

Interdisciplinary perspectives are encouraged and new research methodologies are welcome. 

Proposals may be submitted for either individual papers or sessions. 

Individual paper proposals should include an abstract of no more than 250 words and a one-page abbreviated CV, along with a short bio. 

Session proposals should include a one-page proposal with a title and topics for a session of three to four presentation papers, along with individual abstracts, one-page abbreviated CVs, and short bios. 

Delivered in either Korean or English, each presentation will be no longer than 20 minutes, followed by discussions and Q&A sessions. Graduate students are also welcome to submit proposals and to participate in the conference. 

All proposals should be sent to the Organizing Committee at asakconference@gmail.com by April 30, 2021, Seoul standard time. Applicants will be notified of acceptance of their proposals by May 31, 2021.

We hope that the global pandemic will have subsided by the time of the conference, but in case international travel is still untenable at the time, we will ask international participants to join online. Please be advised, however, that once your proposal has been accepted, the expectation is that you will be physically present unless there are COVID-related travel restrictions.

For further inquiries, please contact the Organizing Committee.

Policy Lessons from South Korea's Development,

WORLD BANK GROUP


Learn about South Korea’s remarkable transformation from a low- to high-income economy in only three decades.

South Korea presents a compelling story of economic growth. It’s one of few countries that made the transition from a resource-poor, low-income nation to a high-income economy in only three decades. It offers a model for developing countries and in this MOOC, leading experts will explain how South Korea achieved this outcome by implementing an export-led industrial strategy.

This course examines South Korea’s past developmental experience as well as its current strategy and policy initiatives to overcome global and domestic challenges, and sustain economic growth into the 21st century.

The course will be of interest to all those wanting to learn how South Korea was transformed into a high-income, with the help of a highly skilled workforce, and the development of high-end manufacturing and services sectors. Also of great interest is Korea’s creation of a futuristic city, Songdo, equipped with smart and green technologies.

COURSE: INTERNATIONAL POLITICS IN THE KOREAN PENINSULA, SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY



International Politics in the Korean Peninsula,

Seoul National University


Explore the genesis, expansion, projection and challenges of the Chinese World Order in China and East Asia.


About this course:

This course is divided into three parts. First, you’ll learn how the Chinese World Order emerged in the ancient world, focusing on the concept of the "heavenly mandate" (天命) as the ultimate source of political power (1 module). You’ll also learn how the Chinese World Order expanded into the relationship between China and surrounding political entities (1 module) and several challenges when the Qing (淸) Empire replaced the Ming (明) Empire.

Second, this course will review how China tried to project its world order into the relationship with Korea and Korea came to be integrated into the Chinese World Order from the 14th century to the 18th century (4 modules). More specifically, it will show how China intervened in the interstate trade and Korean music.

Finally, it will compare the two trajectories of political thoughts between Korea and Japan since 17th century. Korea fantasized itself as the genuine heir and center of the Chinese World Order, closing its door to foreigners. Meanwhile, Japan overcame the Chinese World Order and eventually converted itself as a modern state (1 module).

The working language is Korean with English subtitles.

CFP: HISTORIC AND CURRENT PERSPECTIVES ON INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION AND COLD WAR MATERNALISM IN THE US


Call for Chapters: Historic and Current Perspectives on International 
Adoption and Cold War Maternalism in the US
University of Minnesota - Duluth


Historian Molly Ladd-Taylor defines maternalism as a politicized ideology that combined a uniquely feminine value system of care and nurturance with a woman’s capacity for motherhood and duty to properly raise future generations of citizens. Other scholars have referred to maternalism, and therefore motherhood, as an institution, a form of government. They have asserted the white, Christian, and modern aspects of motherhood, especially with respect to nation-building.

CFP: "NATIONAL IDENTITIES AND THE YOUTH IN EAST ASIA: POPULAR CULTURE, POLITICAL MOBILISATION, AND DIGITAL SPACES" WORKSHOP




National Identities and the Youth in East Asia: 
Popular Culture, Political Mobilisation, and Digital Spaces
Workshop at the Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, 2-3 May 2019

As East Asian societies seek to come to term with demographic, economic, political and technological transitions in recent decades, the younger generation – the so-called Millennials born after 1980 –  have been both impacted by and assuming an increasingly active role in shaping these transformations. Despite being frequently depicted as a politically apathetic generation and with only limited access to traditional levers of state and cultural power, the youth in East Asia have been able to negotiate their political identities through a variety of channels outside official institutions such as popular culture, social and political activisms, and online communications. Digital spaces have become a particularly significant venue for the technologically sophisticated youth to engage in explicit or disguised forms of mobilisations and self-expressions as a strategy to, for instance, resist authoritarian control or to cope with social isolation. On the other hand, from the umbrella movement in Hong Kong and the sunflower movement in Taiwan to emerging feminist activisms in mainland China despite heightened oppressions, the youth are also increasingly involved in claiming the physical public space and in some cases utilising digital networks as a tool for real-world mobilisations. 

CFP: "ASIAN-PACIFIC AND WORLD ORDER: SECURITY, ECONOMICS, IDENTITY AND BEYOND", CONFERENCE



"Asia-Pacific and World Order: Security, Economics, Identity and Beyond" International 
Studies Association Asia-Pacific Regional Conference 2019

The rise of populism and authoritarianism worldwide has caused friction to established orders and tested institutional strengths. In the Asia-Pacific the increasingly potent competition between major powers poses significant challenges to the stability and security of states and societies. The region has also witnessed the realignment and restructuring of middle powers’ alliances and foreign policies. The rising politicization of diaspora has affected domestic politics across the region. Competition in the South China Sea has the potential to fracture the status quo regionalism in Southeast Asia and create new coalitions and clubs of states. Climate change and disasters can make or break governments in the Asia-Pacific. Cyber-security has highlighted a new theatre of international security discourse.
