GIGA Journal Family

GIGA Journal Family

The GIGA’s four journals publish outstanding contributions from researchers around the world. The GIGA Journal Family consists of Africa Spectrum, the Journal of Current Chinese Affairs, the Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs, and the Journal of Politics in Latin America. All contributions are published in English and undergo a multi-stage, anonymised peer-review process. In addition, internationally staffed scientific advisory boards ensure the quality of the journals’ content. The GIGA Journal Family is presided over by Sage, maintaining the “platinum standard” of the Open Access model.
