On behalf of the Korean Political Science Association (KPSA), we are
pleased to announce the call for papers for the 2015 World Congress for
Korean Politics and Society. The World Congress is a biennial conference
organized by the KPSA, and co-hosted by the Korea Foundation (KF), to
discuss innovative and insightful ideas on Korean politics, society, and
international relations. This year’s World Congress will be held from August
25 -27 in the historic city of Gyeongju, South Korea. Gyeongju is Korea’s
ancient capital and often referred to as “museum without walls.”

The main theme of the Congress is “Bridging the Gap: The Promise of
Politics in a Polarized and Fragmented World.” Signs of polarization and
fragmentation are rampant in today’s political and civic life, and pose
serious obstacles to political stability, economic justice, and social
integration. The Congress will bring together distinguished scholars and
experienced professionals around the world to propose new insights that
overcome challenges of polarization in Korea as well as in the
international community. We welcome the submission of papers, full-panel,
and roundtable proposals for the following subthemes including but not
