CIGA’s book discussions are held in English and they are open to public, thus engaging the student and academic audience from IZU and elsewhere. The book discussions are organized around one or two books that relate to the core research areas of CIGA. The reviewers critically discuss the main argument of the author and the book’s contribution to the wider corpus of research. A summary of each review will also be published in the quarterly CIGA News Bulletin “The Strategist”.
