GLJSAS will try to address the plethora of strategic issues affecting the African continent with special focus on the Great Lakes region and the Horn of Africa, through a careful analysis of underlying causes of the main recurring problems, and suggesting policy recommendations. Among such issues are:
Without rigorous, evidence-based and critical research by Africanist scholars and policy makers, the much-talked about African renaissance and the narrative of Africa rising, will not be a reality. While there are numerous journals on African studies at home and abroad, most of them are dominated by Western theoretical and conceptual frameworks, but also they are not easily accessible due to high production costs and restrictive editorial policies. Therefore an open access, peer-reviewed, online (print on demand) African studies journal is a welcome addition to the growing body of publications about Africa.
The disciplines that will inform the discourse that GLJSAS will provide a platform for include:
1. Policy studies
2. Philosophy and social ethics
3. Political science
4. International relations
5. International political economy
6. Development studies
7. International law
8. Regional integration and governance
9. Linguistics
10. Social sciences
11. Media and ICT
12. Strategic studies
13. Economics
14. Human rights and transitional justice
15. Peace and security
16. Climate change
17. Social media as a tool of social transformation
18. Engineering and innovation
19. Agricultural innovation

Great Lakes Journal of Strategic African Studies (GLJSAS) is an interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary journal that addresses crosscutting issues of strategic significance for Africa, with special focus on (but not limited to) the Great Lakes region and the Horn of Africa. These two regions are of great geopolitical significance, much as they are also home to some of the most complex political and ethnic conflicts the world has experienced.
