FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Partnership between the South African Institute of International 
Affairs (SAIIA) and Routledge Journals

In 2008, Routledge has become the publisher of the South African Journal 
of International Affairs (SAJIA). Published since 1993, the SAJIA is a 
leading South African journal providing a vibrant interdisciplinary forum 
for debate on all foreign policy issues affecting Africa in general or 
South Africa in particular. 

Adding to the Routledge agreement with the University of South Africa 
(UNISA) Press concluded in 2006, this new partnership expands and 
strengthens the Routledge commitment to publishing South African based 
journals.

Elizabeth Sidiropoulos, National Director of SAIIA and Editor-in-Chief, 
commented:  “The South African Institute of International Affairs is 
thrilled to be partnering with Routledge in the publication of the South 
African Journal of International Affairs. We are confident this 
partnership will continue to ensure the publication of quality research in 
the journal, especially from among African scholars, and offer a host of 
benefits to both our readers and committed contributors.”

Dr. David Green, Global Publishing Director of Routledge Journals, 
said: “It is a privilege for Routledge Journals to be awarded the 
publishing contract for such a prestigious Institute. This partnership 
further reinforces Routledge’s position as a key international publisher 
of South African research and demonstrates our commitment to publishing in 
this area. The partnership will enable the Institute to extend the global 
reach of its flagship publication.”
