A new article by Dr. Andrew Song is now available online from Political Geography.

“Pawns, Pirates or Peacemakers: Fishing Boats in the inter-Korean Maritime Boundary Dispute and Ambivalent Governmentality” is available at: http://authors.elsevier.com/a/1RJcC_LupuqJoC

Dr. Song, a graduate of Memorial University, was the 2014 YCAR-ABMP Post-doctoral Fellow in Asian Governance.

The article examines how South Korean fishing activities near a disputed maritime border between the two Koreas, called the Northern Limit Line, may be imbued with intentionality representing an indirect arm of the state's geopolitical agenda.
