sixteen volumes and twenty-seven years, <i>The
Papers of the British Association for Korean Studies (BAKS Papers)</i> has
become the <i>European Journal of Korean
Studies</i>. Founded in 1991, the <i>BAKS
Papers </i>has been a repository for the most rigorous and interesting academic
output focused on the Korean Peninsula in the United Kingdom.<span> </span>The <i>European
Journal of Korean Studies</i> carries on this scholarly mission across, to and
within the continent, facilitating the publication of English-language peer
reviewed academic work in all disciplines on matters Korean. With this
evolution, the <i>European Journal of Korean
Studies </i>aims to be the leading peer reviewed, citation indexed outlet for
academic output in Europe in the English language, providing European and
global scholars of Korea a publication and output option we know has been much
in demand, long called for, and eagerly anticipated.<span></span></span></p>

issue under our new name, the<i> European
Journal of Korean Studies</i> Vol 17 (1), continues the wide ranging,
scholarly, critical and ambitious spirit of <i>BAKS
Papers. </i>Articles in the issue span the globe from the encounter with modern
Korean culture in the Philippines, narratives of peace and war, and the
memories and writings of some of South Korea’s most famous politicians. The <i>European Journal of Korean Studies </i>Vol
17 (1), as is customary for an academic journal, reviews some of the most
intriguing recent book length writing, yet it also seeks to add flexibility to
the journal format through the publication of research notes on pressing
issues. This issue, for example, explores the literatures and landscapes of one
of the United Kingdom’s most famous scholars of the Korean-Chinese borderland. <span></span></span></p>

hope you enjoy and are stimulated by this first issue of the <i>European Journal of Korean Studies </i>and
are interested by the opportunity to publish peer-reviewed work in a
publication based in Europe. We absolutely welcome new writing by scholars in
Western and Eastern Europe, America, Korea, Australasia, and beyond, and hope
that readers will consider submitting their own work for future issues, which
will appear twice a year. <span></span></span></p>
