Africa Yearbook

The Africa Yearbook covers major domestic political developments, the foreign policy and socio-economic trends in Sub-Saharan Africa in one calendar year and it contains articles on all Sub-Saharan states and each of the four sub-regions (West, Central, Eastern and Southern Africa) focusing on major cross-border developments and sub-regional organizations. There is also an article on continental developments, on Africa and the United Nations, and one on European-African relations.

While the articles have thorough academic quality, the Yearbook is mainly oriented to the requirements of a large range of target groups: students, politicians, diplomats, administrators, journalists, teachers, practitioners in the field of development aid as well as business people. The Africa Yearbook is the sequel to the German-language ‘Afrika Jahrbuch’ that used to be published by the Institut für Afrika-Kunde in Hamburg. Editors: Institut für Afrika-Kunde: Dr. Andreas Mehler, Director (political science, Central Africa). Nordiska Afrikainstitutet: Dr. Henning Melber, Research Director (political science, sociology, former Director of the Namibian Economic Policy Research Unit, Southern Africa). African Studies Centre: Dr. Klaas van Walraven, Senior Researcher (political science, international relations, history, democratisation, West Africa)
