Publications

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.

    Revamping the OECD’s Five Rural Worlds model for poverty-oriented inter-sectoral analysis, communication and planning

    Brüntrup, Michael (2016)

    Rural development is particular, multisectoral and complex. Discussing general trends, policies and development impacts requires a conceptual model that is neither too complicated nor too simplistic, but has a poverty focus. Here, the “Rural Worlds” approach of the OECD is proposed as good start.

    Burchi, Francesco / Christoph Strupat (2016)

    How is it possible to achieve SDG 2? The Briefing Paper highlights the important role of cash transfers in tackling food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa.

    Baut Städte statt Lager: Uganda als Beispiel einer integrativen  Flüchtlingspolitik

    Kreibaum, Merle (2016)

Daher mehren sich Stimmen, die derzeitige Lager(ungs)politik aufzugeben und stattdessen Städte zu bauen, die eine Integration der Flüchtlinge zulassen. Uganda ist hierfür ein lehrreiches Beispiel.

    A considerable number of critics view the UN summit for refugees and migrants as little more than a summit of heat-warming words and declarations of intent that will have no impact whatsoever.

    The missing link: values and the effectiveness of international democracy promotion

    Striebinger, Kai (2016)
    Discussion Paper, 19/2016

    How does culture shape the effectiveness of international democracy promotion? International actors often assume that promoting democracy works independent of the cultural context. But 'democracy' is a contested concept and the activities themselves are rooted in specific cultural practices.
