Aim and Scope

The African Solutions Journal is an initiative of the Institute for Peace and Security Studies, Addis Ababa University. The Journal is an inter-disciplinary African studies Journal focusing broadly on the fields of peace and security in Africa. It covers the interface between ‘academia and practice’ and ‘theory and policy’.
