CONTRIBUTIONS The Journal olfModern African Studies offers a quarterly survey of developments in modern African politics and society. Its main emphasis is on current issues in African politics, economies, societies, and international relations, seeking to benefit from the work of specialists in different academic disciplines, and of those who are currently engaged in the affairs of the continent. Historical studies will normally be accepted only when they are directly relevant to the under- standing of modern Africa.

The Journal seeks to promote a deeper understanding of what is happening in Africa today. It is intended not onlv for students and academic specialists, but also for general readers and prac- titioners with a concern for modern Africa, living and working both inside and outside the continent. Contributions should therefore be presented in such a way as to be accessible to any informed and interested reader, and papers which take a narrowly technical or disciplinary approach will not be accepted.

Editorial policy avoids commitment to any political viewpoint or ideology, recognising that a wide range of different approaches are needed in order to understand developments in Africa, and that approaches which are unfashionable at one moment may well become widely accepted at another. The way in which different ideologies have shaped the understanding (or misunder- standing) of Africa likewise provides a legitimate subject of analysis. Controversial papers, and papers which seek to challenge current orthodoxies, will therefore be welcomed, subject only to the recognition that the purpose of the Journal is to promote understanding, rather than to act as the mouthpiece for polemic.

1The Editor will, where appropriate, consider linked groups of papers for publication together, which may constitute a special issue of the Journal dedicated to a particular subject. Each paper will however be separately refereed, and individual papers may be accepted or rejected.

contributors are invited from all over the world, and those from scholars and practitioners XW1rking in Africa are particularly welcome. The average length suggested is 5,000 to 7,000 words, with occasional exceptions of up to 10,000 words. Articles submitted to the Journal should be original contributions and not under consideration for any other publication at the same time. Exceptions to this rule should be clearly indicated at the time of submission. Papers cannot be accepted by e-mail.

The Journal is fully refereed, and contributors should submit three copies of their papers, which should be typed in double spacing with good margins. Contributors working in Africa need only submit one copy. The author's name, address and institutional affiliation (where appropriate), and any other identifying material, should be provided on a cover page, and excluded from the main text, so as to ensure anonymity. Manuscripts will not be returned to authors. Manuscripts must be typed, with double spacing throughout, and margins of at least one inch (2.5 cm) all round. All pages must be numbered consecutively. Stylistic conventions, including footnotes and references, should correspond to those found in previous issues of the Journal

All correspondence and contributions should be addressed to PROFESSOR CHRISTOPHER CLAPHAM, LANCASTER UNIVERSITY, POLITICS and INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, CARTMEL COLLEGE, LANCASTER LAI 4YL, UK.

Each contributor will receive a copy of the number and 25 offprints of his/her article free of charge. Contributors to this Journal express their own opinions, which should not be interpreted as the official view of any institution or organisation with which they may be connected.
