Description

Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa
http://www.jsd-africa.com/
The Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (JSDA) is the
official journal for sustainable development in Africa. The journal
was originally established as part of the function of the African
Studies Program of Kalamazoo College in order to encourage an
interdisciplinary discussion on the subject of sustainable
development. With the departure of the editor-in- chief from
Kalamazoo College, the JSDA was moved to Southern University and A & M
College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. After four and half years at
Southern University, the journal was hosted at
Fayetteville State University in Fayetteville, North Carolina
(2004-2008). In July of 2008, the Journal of Sustainable Development
in Africa was moved to Clarion University of Pennsylvania,
where the editor-in-chief is the Provost and Vice President for
Academic Affairs.
It now addresses the policy components of Africa's development issues.
The general belief is that theoretical and operational discussions of
development efforts in Africa must be
interdisciplinary so that policy makers and academics will have a
useful academic journal, which could be instrumental in moving
Africa's development forward. The journal focuses on debates
of development; development paradigms; social, cultural, economic, and
ecological sustainability; and the politics of sustainable development
with regard to governance.
The Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa is a refereed journal
published four times a year in Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer to
strengthen and foster sustainable development and
planning efforts in Africa.
