The main theme of the Congress is “The World and Korean Politics: Influence and Contribution.” Under this theme, we will question how the world scholarship has influenced on politics in Korea as well as how the Korean scholarship
has contributed to the studies of politics in the world. The Congress will bring together distinguished scholars to Seoul for two days to share their insights into the interrelationship between Korean politics and the politics around the world.

  • North Korean Issues
  • Multicultural Issues in Korea
  • Globalization and Glocalization
