The Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations
(HPAIR) announces its first Call for Papers for the HPAIR 2003
annual international Conference, to take place in Seoul, South
Korea on August 21 to 24 2003.
HPAIR2003
invites upperclassmen, graduate students and postgraduates pursuing
research relevant to one of the specific HPAIR 2003 topics to
submit a paper for publication in the HPAIR2003 Conference Proceedings.
Submissions should be in a format resembling that of a scholarly
journal article in the field, be approximately 15-20 pages in
length, and include extensive citations. Submissions may reflect
any of a wide variety of methodologies and/or perspectives, and
may employ approaches including but not limited to case studies,
formal models, data analyses, regional studies, or policy briefings.
However, papers should be research-based rather than opinion pieces
or descriptive commentaries. HPAIR requests that each research
paper submitted by a current student be accompanied by a brief
letter of endorsement from a faculty advisor. Each submission
will be reviewed by the HPAIR editing committee for originality,
relevance and publishable quality. Authors of selected submissions
will be invited to present their research at a poster session
at the conference and may be offered a limited scholarship covering
a portion of registration fees.
