The German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) publishes four independent publication series. IDOS researchers publish their current research results in Discussion Papers, Policy Briefs and Studies. Visiting scholars and cooperation partners also have the opportunity to publish their research results in one of the IDOS series. Publications from the series Analysen und Stellungnahmen, Briefing Paper and Two-Pager / Zweiseiter, which will be discontinued in 2022, will continue to be available online. The fourth publication series is for opinion pieces: The Current Column regularly comments on the latest developments and issues in international development policy.
IDOS researchers also regularly publish their research results in peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed German and international journals and publication series of other research institutes and institutions as well as with renowned book publishers. In addition, they use blogs and online platforms of partner institutions to communicate the Institute's research and advisory activities to an interested public.

Economic concerns and development aspirations must no longer serve as a pretext for lukewarm climate action, but quite to the contrary ambitious climate action is an imperative for equitable and just sustainable development.
After the successful adoption of the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) in 2014, investment facilitation is gaining importance as the next policy priority for a plurilateral agreement under the World Trade Organization (WTO). In fact, more than 110 WTO Members aim to conclude the negotiations on the Investment Facilitation for Development (IFD) Agreement by mid-2023 after only three years of formal negotiations.
Am 8. Mai jährte sich die Verabschiedung der südafrikanischen Verfassung zum 27. Mal. Neben den ersten demokratischen Wahlen von 1994, aus denen Nelson Mandela als Präsident und die frühere Befreiungsbewegung African National Congress (ANC) als Regierungspartei hervorgingen, markiert sie für das Land das Ende des über vier Jahrzehnte herrschenden Apartheid: Denn bis dahin verfügten die Nachfahren der europäischen Kolonialmächte die Rassentrennung für alle Lebensbereiche und Wohngebiete in den Städten – und verwehrten der nicht-weißen Bevölkerungsmehrheit ihre Grundrechte. Wie steht es heute um die Demokratie Südafrikas? Inwiefern wird das Land dem in seiner international als vorbildlich angesehenen Verfassung niedergeschriebenen Anspruch gerecht, das soziale Unrecht seiner Vergangenheit anzuerkennen und die Rechte aller dort Lebenden zu schützen – „in unserer Verschiedenheit verbunden“ (united in our diversity)? Welchen Aufschluss gibt in diesem Zusammenhang der Umgang von Politik und Teilen der Gesellschaft mit den in Südafrika wohnenden Migrant*innen aus anderen Ländern Afrikas?
