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, 01 February 2016
Since 1 January 2016, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) guide development efforts around the world. 2016 will be about implementation. The key question is: How do we translate 17 goals and their 169 targets into policy making? One option is to continue business as usual and start selectively. Each country could pick and choose from the menu of goals and targets. A better option is to transform today’s policy making into a more coherent and integrated approach.
Governments often use irregular armed groups to avoid accountability for human rights abuses when targeting a domestic opponent. As this increases the risk of atrocities, the international community must ensure governments are held accountable for violence committed by their informal agents, too.
