Abstract

The author presents some reflections on the two main points of discussion that were raised in the process of outlining an editorial policy for the new journal Afrika Focus: the problem of interdisciplinary or multidisciplinarity and the problem of the African research focus. The final choices, which he made together with his fellow editors seem to him so attractive that, in his view, the risk of editing the journal can be taken. KEYWORDS : Afrika Focus, AVRUG-Bulletin, editorial policy, multidisciplinarity, African research
