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.

The Current Column, 29 March 2018
21 March did see the celebration of the International Day of Forests, although very few forest campaigners are in celebratory mood. Many millions of hectares of forest have been lost since the 1970s in the tropics, something for which the expansion of forest area in the temperate zones has been unable to compensate.
Dürren nehmen an Schwere, Dauer und räumlicher Ausdehnung zu. Aufgrund der weitreichenden Folgen braucht es übersektoral koordinierte Ansätze zur Erreichung von Dürreresilienz. Der Wechsel von der vorherrschenden „reaktiven“ Struktur zu einem „proaktiveren“ Ansatz ist von entscheidender Bedeutung.
Do political institutions matter when explaining why some post-conflict countries fall back into conflict? On the one hand, many believe inclusive political institutions to be key for conflict prevention. On the other hand, the academic literature so far, mostly focusing on the effect of regime type more generally, fails to find consistent effects – more democratic states do not clearly experience less conflict recurrence. This blog post summarizes a paper, which argues that rather than democracy more generally, very specific political institutions can very well have an influence on whether conflict recurs or not. And indeed, the results show that strong legislatures and high courts as well as local elections and civil society participation are significantly and robustly associated with less conflict recurrence.
Daten sind eine zentrale aber unterschätzte Voraussetzung für die Umsetzung der Agenda 2030. Obwohl technische Innovationen zu einer Explosion an Daten geführt haben, gibt es insbesondere in Entwicklungsländern noch erhebliche Datenlücken.
