JPLA is a GIGA journal published in cooperation with SAGE. As an open access publication, it is available online free of charge. JPLA compiles articles on current developments and comparative politics in Latin America in order to facilitate a deeper understanding of political processes there. Scholars from all over the world publish their articles in JPLA, whose quality is ensured by an International Editorial Board. All articles are published in English and undergo a multi-stage, anonymous review process.
Dr. Jorge Gordin served as editor of JPLA from its founding in its current form in 2009 up until the end of 2020. The GIGA would like to thank him greatly for his many years of successful commitment to JPLA.
