Dear Authors,
I just wanted to provide you with an update regarding our project, and I'm thrilled to share that due to its overwhelming popularity, exceeding our wildest expectations, the publisher IGI Global and I have decided to split our publication thematically into two parts. This decision stems from the acceptance of more than 35 chapters.
The two parts are as follows:
Book 1: Dealing with Regional Conflicts of Global Importance (2024). Anticipated Publication Date: To Be Determined Soon. Over 99.99% of the work on this edition is complete.
