EDITORS’ FOREWORD INTRODUCTION TO PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE IN KOREA It has been six years since Korean debate community was formed with the creation of Korea Intervarsity Debate Association (KIDA). Since then, Korean debate community saw rapid growth, and has played an active role in international debate arena. Domestically, the community consists of 17 university debate societies at the intervarsity level. This new yet vibrant community, despite a short history, has brought to Korea major international tournaments such as Australasian Debating Championship (Australs), All-Asian Intervarsity Debating Championship, and Asian Schools Debating Championship. The past years have also witnessed Korean teams winning a championship at regional tournaments such as Northeast Asian Open, and breaking (advancing to the main league as one of the top teams of the tournament) at the World’s largest tournaments such as World Universities Debating Championship (WUDC), United Asian Debating Championship (UADC), and Australs, which were once deemed a remote possibility for many Korean teams. However, it has come to our attention that much of the knowledge remains in individuals, and the knowledge in hosting and debating needs transferring to carry on this success, as well as to expand the Korean debate community further. As a result, ‘KIDA Official Guide to Parliamentary Debate in Korea’ has come to see the light. An expanded edition of ‘KNC Hosting Guide’ published in May 2012, this guide was designed to help debaters and individuals interested in debate access debate easily, and to serve as a comprehensive guidebook from running a tournament to enhancing debating skills. This guide is a first attempt of its kind, initiated by KIDA to promote debate across Korea with the help of some of the best debaters and adjudicators in Korea. In addition to the ‘Guide’ element of this book, there are a number of sections that have been added. The first chapter, “Introduction to Korea Debate Intervarsity Association,” is one that briefly explains the role of KIDA in the debate scene. The chapter has a record of KIDA’s past Presidents and Secretariats, as well as list of all the eleven KIDA National Championships (KNC) that took place so far and the Champions who have been crowned so far. Moreover, Appendix 1 has a list of motions for all the KNCs. Hence the title KIDA Guide: Introduction to Parliamentary Debate in Korea. This book is not only a guide and an introduction, but a pioneer of its kind. Not only those who are already engaged in Parliamentary Debate, but also students of all levels with interests in Parliamentary Debate will benefit from this volume. Korea is a country with rather disappointing culture of debate, especially in the Congress, where members of National Assembly often resort to violence to get their voices heard. We hope this Guide will be a cornerstone for Korean debate culture, and help take Korean debate community a step further, not just in records but also in terms of quality of debate, hosting tournaments, and adjudication. Lastly, we wish to thank all those who have helped us put together this volume. Those who have contributed their articles or helped us gather information are credited in the Acknowledgment section at the end of this book. While we tried to make sure that the information in this book is correct, errors or mistakes that may be found in this book are the co-editors’ responsibility.

The Council is a decision-making body made up of representatives of each member institution, while the Secretariat (KIDA President, Vice President, Treasury, and Secretary) facilitates the discussion among the Council in monthly KIDA Council Meetings (KCM). The Secretariat at large, divided into a number of departments, also provides institutional management from keeping the records and budget to running its website and blog.
