It has also been shaped by non-state actors, from anti-colonial activists and peace activists to real estate speculators.  Scholars from social science, humanities, and policy-oriented disciplines are invited to reflect on the theme of Territory and Sovereignty on the Korean Peninsula. We seek contributions that push beyond conventional notions of
