About the Journal

ISSN: 2399-2859   

Leadership and Developing Societies is an academic peer-reviewed journal published by the African Leadership Centre. It motivates original thinking and high-quality analysis on the interaction between leadership and the security-development nexus with a global focus on the developing world. It fills an important gap by examining leadership as a distinctive aspect of security and development processes and not simply as a by-product of institution building. It provides empirically grounded analysis of the interactions between security and development; and bridges the theory and practice of leadership in developing societies.

Submission 

The Journal receives and publishes academic work from scholars of all ages at all levels of career. We welcome submissions from junior scholars, especially those from the Global South and including graduate and doctoral candidates. The journal has an expressed agenda to give space and voice to scholars not afforded opportunities to publish elsewhere; and provides additional peer-review rounds and support to younger authors to assist in that endeavour.
