Africa Yearbook
AEGIS supports the publication of the Africa Yearbook, an English-language periodical covering major political, economic and social developments in each sub-Saharan African country per calendar year. In addition, it includes sub-regional chapters and chapters on African-European relations and continent-wide developments. The Yearbook is aimed at a range of audiences including researchers, students, politicians, diplomats, journalists, teachers, development practitioners and those working in the private sector.
The Africa Yearbook is published annually by Brill Academic Publishers. The Africa Yearbook is a continuation of the German-language ‘Afrika Jahrbuch’, published by the GIGA Institute for African Affairs in Hamburg, which issued its last yearbook in 2004.
You can order the Africa Yearbook from the publisher here.
The Yearbook is edited by African and European scholars based within universities on both continents.
