About the Journal
AYIKA: JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENT AND POLITICS IN AFRICA is a journal that provides an avenue to scholars, researchers, policy analysts, think tank groups, as well as the civil society community to ventilate the various ramifications of the relations between environment and politics and development in Africa. The causal relationship between the environment and politics and vice versa has grown such that the scientific and political communities have fundamentally and unprecedentedly come to agreement as to the cause(s) of environmental problems. Hence, there is a growing recognition of government as the consumer of scientific findings on the environment such as that this journal portends. This point, in many respect, led to the inauguration of this journal. It is as a consequence of addressing environmental governance issues from the global level right to the local and municipal levels across the world and with special interest on Africa’s landscape that AYIKA: JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENT AND POLITICS IN AFRICA was established. Manuscripts on contemporary African politics are welcome in this journal.
The journal publishes two issues per year, with editions released in April and October. In addition to regular issues, the journal welcomes proposals for special issues focusing on environmental and political themes relevant to Africa, including emerging challenges, policy developments and interdisciplinary research within the journal’s scope.
AYIKA is recognised by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and appears on the DHET accreditation list.
