[KS] Rudiger_Call for Papers

[Ruediger Frank]

Dear colleagues,
the annual edited volume "Korea: Politics, Economy, and Society", published by Brill and edited by James Hoare, Patrick Kollner, Susan Pares and myself, enters into its fifth year (see www.brill.nl/koyb). Our associate editors are Charles Armstrong (Columbia) and Park Sung-Hoon (Korea Univ.). We are now looking for contributions to the refereed part of the book. Although we prefer original work, revised versions of academic articles that have been published elsewhere are also acceptable; these will, however, undergo our standard review process. 
Please note that for graduate students, there is a prize of 1,000 USD for the best contribution. Senior colleagues will appreciate the fact that this book series has now become standard reading for the leading academic experts and policy makers in the field of contemporary Korean Studies worldwide. 
The project is kindly and generously funded by the Academy for Korean Studies. Below is our official call for papers; if you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly (and be careful not to hit the reply button, as that message would go out to the whole list).
My warmest wishes,
Rudiger Frank

Call for Papers
Korea 2011 – Politics, Economy and Society
The editors of Korea – Politics, Economy and Society,
published annually since 2007 by Brill (Leiden and Boston), are calling for papers for the
2011 edition of the yearbook. The Korea: Politics, Economy and Society series is the source
for up-to-date concise information on what is happening on the Korean peninsula. It features
refereed articles on political, economic and social aspects of both South and North Korea,
while its survey articles provide concise overviews of politics, the economy, and the foreign
relations of both Koreas, as well as inter-Korean relations. The editors are now calling for
proposals for papers for the refereed part of the yearbook. The editors are particularly
interested in papers dealing with North Korea and inter-Korean affairs and papers analysing
Korean affairs from a comparative perspective. Papers on other topics falling within the
scope of Korea – Politics, Economy and Society are also very welcome. Interested scholars
and graduate students should send proposals of a maximum of 500 words to Patrick Köllner
(koellner at giga-hamburg.de) by 30 November 2010. The editors will decide by early
December which proposals for papers should be developed into manuscripts (10,000 words
maximum) to be submitted by 28 February 2011. The editors guarantee a speedy review of
manuscripts. Korea 2011 – Politics, Economy and Society is due to be published in
September 2011. For further information on the Korea: Politics, Economy and Society series
see www.brill.nl/koyb.

Praise for earlier editions of the Korea Yearbook:
"A tremendously thorough, insightful and penetrating analysis, rich with information
indispensable to the experts and useful to anyone interested in understanding the political,
economic and diplomatic dynamics in both halves of the dynamic Korean Peninsula."
Mark Fitzpatrick, International Institute for Strategic Studies, London
"Korea Yearbook will be an indispensable resource for anyone interested in this most
fascinating of countries. An international team of top-flight experts not only cover the year's
key political and economic developments in both North and South - and the growing
relationship between them - but also focus in on an unusually wide range of more specific
themes: from foreign investment and the Lone Star affair, via online journalism and new
urban landscapes, to North Korean refugees in China. Much more than a compendium, this
is an exhilarating tour of Korean economy, politics and society on both sides of the DMZ.
Bravo!"
Aidan Foster-Carter, Leeds University
”This volume is the most comprehensive and important summary of political and economic
events published on contemporary Korea. In addition, it has a number of excellent essays on
both the North and the South and their interrelations, and a variety of chapters on aspects of
the political-cultural Korean scene. This annual work will be an essential companion to any
researcher on modern Korea, and one that every library on foreign affairs will need. We look
forward to the annual production of volumes of equal caliber.”
David I. Steinberg, Georgetown University
