Website: www.keia.org In December 2006, the Korea Economic Institute of America (KEI) initiated an Academic Paper Series—a program to generate monthly academic papers followed by a public discussion of topical issues related to the Korean Peninsula. KEI has commissioned seventeen papers in this series so far, of which 10 have been completed to date. To read the individual papers, please refer to the KEI Website: www.keia.org. KEI now seeks proposals for up to five more papers to be published between October and December 2008 on original subjects of current interest to serious Korea watchers. Papers must be written exclusively for KEI, i.e., not have been presented or published previously in any form. Papers should be approximately 4,000 – 5,000 words in length. KEI will edit and distribute finished papers as KEI Academic Papers to over 2,000 government officials, think tank experts, and scholars around the United States and the world. KEI will also collate and publish all of the KEI Academic Papers in a single volume on an annual basis. The first edition of On Korea compiling the first ten papers commissioned by KEI between Authors of papers selected by KEI for the KEI Academic Paper Series will receive an honorarium of $2000 upon completion of the editorial process. KEI will arrange a mutually convenient date for each author to participate in a discussion in Washington with Korea analysts, government officials, and journalists of his/her selected paper at KEI conference facilities in Washington, DC, preferably during the month KEI publishes the paper. KEI will provide travel and accommodation expenses for the discussion program. Interested authors should submit the following information by Monday, June 30, 2008:
KEI will inform the authors of the accepted paper topics on or about July 15, 2008, with the expectation that the initial paper would be distributed in early October. The author of this initial paper will be expected to transmit a first draft to KEI by September 22, 2008. Authors of papers scheduled for distribution later in the year will be separately notified of the required submission dates. KEI will repeat the call for Academic Papers in October 2008 for publication in spring 2009. Please submit your paper proposal to publication@keia.org. Contact information: |
