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.

    Grimm, Sven (2015)
    The Current Column, 19 October 2015

    Critics such as economist William Easterly describe the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as “senseless, dreamy, and garbled” - the kind of thing John Lennon was singing about in his famous song “Imagine”. Are we all just dreamers?

    The Current Column, 16 October 2015

    On 14 October 2015 the European Commission has released the new EU trade and investment strategy. Its catchy title – “Trade for All” – is very auspicious as well as ambitious and the strategy contains promising elements for global development. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating: How will the strategy be put into practice?

    Brandi, Clara / Axel Berger / Dominique Bruhn (2015)

    Multilaterale Kooperation ist in den letzten Jahren an ihre Grenzen gestoßen.
