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.
