Until 2022, the GIGA information centre published short bibliographies on current issues and countries:
as part of the dok-line series
on GIGA Forum events
in the journal "World Comparative Law WCL" (in German, "Verfassung und Recht in Übersee").
The bibliographies contain 30 to 100 titles from the database of the German Information Network International Relations and Area Studies (FIV) and consist mainly of journal articles, books, and online literature. The FIV is a confederation of 10 independent German research institutes.
All titles of the selected bibliographies are provided with keywords and often with abstracts. Each title’s location in German libraries or Internet address is specified.
From 2023, this service will be provisionally discontinued.
In the dok-line series, the GIGA Library publishes online bibliographies quarterly on current issues and countries. For bibliographies up to 2012, please use the Berlin State Library’s online code directory to check the library code.
Here you can find the literature lists on the topics of our GIGA Forum and GIGA Talk events.
The journal "World Comparative Law WCL" ("Verfassung und Recht in Übersee") analyses legal and constitutional developments in all states or regions outside of Europe as well as their regional and international integration. The GIGA Library compiles a bibliography of relevant publications about Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East for each issue.
