ON STRUCTURE

What attracted us to start publishing with IGI Global in the first place is the structure of the chapters published with this publishing house. They always include the methodological part. Adding it as a compulsory thing makes it fascinating, for it gives us a glimpse into the analytical minds of other successful academics who can capture something as elusive as an ongoing conflict.
