Journal of Leadership and Developing Societies

The African Leadership Centre (ALC) established the academic peer-reviewed journal, Journal of Leadership and Developing Societies, in 2016, which motivates original thinking and high-quality analysis on the interaction between leadership and the security-development nexus with a global focus on the developing world.

The journal fills an important gap by examining leadership as a distinctive aspect of security and development processes and not simply as a by-product of institution building. It provides empirically grounded analysis of the interactions between security and development; and bridges the theory and practice of leadership in developing societies.
