PhD student receives Korea Studies Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship
Ki-Young Sung, who recently took his viva, has received news that he has been awarded a Korea Studies Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Southern California for this coming academic year.
This is an excellent achievement by Ki-Young. The Director of the Korean Studies Institute at USC is Prof David Kang, who is arguably one of the leading figures not just in the study of Korean Peninsula politics, but more widely in East Asian international relations. The competition was fierce, with candidates from across the US and internationally.
Ki-Young's research is on inter-Korean economic cooperation and the political implications of this for Korean Peninsula security. The fact that he has obtained this prestigious scholarship is a testament to the quality of his research, and also demonstrates the growing status of Warwick's PhD programme in the United States.
Many congratulations to Ki-Young.
GR:EEN Project Launched 1 March 2011
Dear all,
As you may know, the Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation has recently won €8 million in the European Commission FP7 competition to lead a research on ‘Europe in a Multi-polar World’. The project will focus on emerging global governance structures and Europe’s place within them. Entitled Global Re-ordering: Evolution through European Networks (GR:EEN), the project will invest €10 million over four years into exploring questions of how Europe matters and indeed if and how it can continue to matter in an increasingly multi-polar world. The project involves several PAIS/ CSGR staff members, including Richard Higgott, Shaun Breslin, Stuart Croft, Richard Youngs, Diane Stone, George Christou, Len Seabrooke, Denise Hewlett and Nikki Muckle (RSS). We are also in the process of recruiting several post-doctoral fellows.
As the Project Manager, I am happy to announce that March 1st marks the first official day of this project! Still in its early stages, GR:EEN will hold its first Steering Committee Meeting this week in Brussels. We hope that our full website will be launched over the coming weeks and have made a temporary site here in the interim- www.greenfp7.eu.
If you are interested in the research we, and our 15 partner institutions across the world, are doing, please do not hesitate to stop by for a chat!
With kind wishes,
Laura
