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.

Wasserkraft wird auf globaler Ebene den größten Anteil an den erbeuerbaren Energien stellen. Ihre Rolle beim Schutz des globalen Klimas stellt uns vor ein Dilemma: Ist Wasserkraft wünschenswert, weil sie lokal problematische ökologische und soziale Wirkungen mit sich bringt?
Democracy is a highly valued policy goal for the West, but democracy support is feared to undermine another important goal, namely political stability. Our findings suggest that a gradualist approach that builds institutions while encouraging mobilization is more viable than sequencing.

Climate change and disaster risk management will be high on the agenda as small island states are particularly at risk from the impacts of climate change, especially rising sea levels. How to deal responsibly with the prospect that these countries will become virtually uninhabitable remains one of the great unresolved questions of international climate policy and international law.
