You are part of INDePth’s Discussion.

INDiscussion is a blog competition sponsored by the Korean Canadian Scholarship Foundation and administered by INDePth that seeks to engage students from around the world to actively and critically respond to INDePth 2014’s case study: Korea. Between December and February, we will post entries submitted on our website and share them to audience across our social media platforms. Make your voice a part of this INDePth discussion now.

Eligibility

Current undergraduate and graduate students from all disciplines from any university/college.

Topic

The Korean peninsula offers a unique case study in a myriad of developmental, political, social and economic concerns. The Cold War’s impact on the peninsula is heavily felt to this day, as North and South Korea are not yet at peace, and the on-going conflict presents an obstacle to peninsular, regional and global stability. Striving to foster a constructive discussion about the peninsula without limiting our focus to purely balance-of-power politics, we invite you to share your ideas about potential agents of change on the peninsula including the media, civil society and economics; or about the motivations behind and the impact of regional and global powers and forces on the peninsula itself.

Submission Guideline

Submit an entry (500 to 1000 words) to indiscussion@indepthconference.com about your thoughts on development in Korea. Your entry can take any stance from any disciplinary perspective. It can be an entry you write specifically for this competition, or an essay you wrote for a class related to this topic.

Essays that have already been published in other online or print journal are not eligible.
Every student is eligible for submitting only 1 blog entry. In your submission, please include your full name, school, current year of study, programs of study and contact information (email and phone).

*NEW* Submission Deadline: Friday March 7, 2014. 11:59PM E.S.T
