The GIGA Institute for African Affairs analyses political and socio-economic developments in sub-Saharan Africa. The institute’s thematic core comprises political institutions, violent conflicts, and a variety of socio-economic challenges. The aim of our research is to paint a nuanced picture of sub-Saharan Africa.
The GIGA Journal Family is presided over by Sage, maintaining the “platinum standard” of the Open Access model. Contributions by leading researchers from all over the world feature in our four journals. To ensure their quality, all submissions are evaluated in a double-blind peer-review process.
GIGA Journal FamilyExchange and cooperation with scholars from around the world is a decades-long tradition at the GIGA. Since 2015 we have been intensifying and consolidating this cooperation with the help of the GIGA research platforms.
