Journal Details
Journal of Contemporary African Studies
Aims & Scope
The Journal of Contemporary African Studies (published four times a year, in January, April, July and October) is an interdisciplinary journal seeking to promote a scholarly understanding of developments and change throughout the African continent, as well as the location of Africa within the global political economy. Its scope extends across the social sciences, as well as encouraging articles relating to the social dimensions of the wider humanities, sciences and the environment. It welcomes contributions reviewing general trends in the academic literature, as well as those offering careful analyses of developments at national, regional and continental level. It also publishes special issues and welcomes proposals for new topics.
Responsibility for opinions expressed and for the accuracy of the facts published in articles and book reviews rests solely with the individual authors or reviewers. All contributions are referred to specialist readers for consideration, but the Editors are responsible for the final selection of the contents of the Journal.
