Aims and scope

About the journal
The African Security Review is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes articles on issues across the broad spectrum of human security in Africa.

The ASR encourages submissions from various perspectives (both traditional and innovative), different methodological backgrounds and divergent theoretical approaches, in order to broaden and widen cross-disciplinary discourse in the field of human security in Africa.

The ASR is affiliated with the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), a pan-African human security policy think-tank that aims to advance human security in Africa through evidence-based policy advice, technical support and capacity building.
