Africa Yearbook Volume 13
Politics, Economy and Society South of the Sahara in 2016
Series: - Africa Yearbook, Volume: 13
The Africa Yearbook covers major domestic political developments, the foreign policy and socio-economic trends in sub-Sahara Africa – all related to developments in one calendar year. The Yearbook contains articles on all sub-Saharan states, each of the four sub-regions (West, Central, Eastern, Southern Africa) focusing on major cross-border developments and sub-regional organizations as well as one article on continental developments and one on African-European relations. While the articles have thorough academic quality, the Yearbook is mainly oriented to the requirements of a large range of target groups: students, politicians, diplomats, administrators, journalists, teachers, practitioners in the field of development aid as well as business people.
Jon Abbink works as a senior researcher at the African Studies Centre, Leiden, and as a research professor at VU University, Amsterdam. His interests are political anthropology, ethno-history, and culture and religion in the Horn of Africa (Ethiopia, Somalia). Current research projects are on Ethiopian regional history and livelihoods, the rhetoric and practice of ‘development’, and religion and community formation in Northeast Africa.

'Much has changed since my first reading of the Yearbook: the cooperating institutes, the writers, some of the editors. What remains the same is the quality of the articles, the depth of the analysis, the wealth of the factual information and the painstaking effort of the Yearbooks’ contributors to present life in Africa in all its diversity and perplexity'.
