Development Southern Africa

期刊简介：Development Southern Africa (DSA) is an internationally accredited, multi-disciplinary journal focusing on development policy and practice in the southern Africa region. Founded in 1984, DSA has become an important forum for presenting area-based scholarship in the social sciences and encouraging articles that seek policy solutions to local and regional socio-economic development challenges. It remains the southern Africa journal of choice for several disciplines (economics, sociology, agricultural economics, development studies, political science, amongst others), and it publishes articles in respect of the key development issues in the region. These include poverty, unemployment, tourism, agriculture, business development, infrastructure development and other related development themes. The journal encourages quantitative and qualitative policy relevant research articles, shorter research notes, book reviews and debates. As DSA is widely read by policy makers, we encourage authors to make policy suggestions based on the evidence conveyed in the article. DSA also welcomes proposals from guest editors for special issues, and encourages first time authors to co-author articles for such theme editions. DSA publishes six issues annually. Peer Review Statement All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two referees.
