The Institute for Global Governance Research (GGR) at Hitotsubashi University cordially invites you to join the book launch event of the Japanese translation of Dr. Larry Diamond's Ill Winds, a work by Dr. Maiko Ichihara and published from Keiso Shobo. The event will be hosted on zoom and will take place on March 17, 2022, 12:00-13:00 (JST).

This publication is undoubtedly one of the most important books of our times, offering an overview of the different movements that undermine the international liberal order, their interactions, and the values of democracy. Dr. Larry Diamond, an eminent scholar of democracy from Stanford University, will discuss the book, including how it can be read in the context of Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The event will take place in English, but Japanese interpretation will be provided as well.
