About the journal
The Journal of Modern African Studies offers a quarterly survey of developments in modern African politics and society. Its main emphasis is on current issues in African politics, economies, societies and international relations. It is intended not only for students and academic specialists, but also for general readers and practitioners with a concern for modern Africa, living and working both inside and outside the continent. Editorial policy avoids commitment to any political viewpoint or ideology, but aims at a fair examination of controversial issues in order to promote a deeper understanding of what is happening in Africa today. The journal also includes an invaluable book review section.
Instructions to Authors
The Journal offers a quarterly survey of politics, economics, and related topics in contemporary Africa.
The main emphasis is upon the peoples and policies, the problems and progress of this dynamic and disparate continent; upon the many societies that are evolving rather than the essential characteristics of the old; upon the present, not on the more distant past. The best current work is presented from specialists in different academic disciplines whose contributions can illuminate and cross-fertilise one another.
Editorial policy avoids commitment to any political viewpoint or ideology. The Journal seeks to promote a deeper understanding of what is happening in Africa today.
