About the Journal

Tanzania Journal of Development Studies is an interdisciplinary journal. It encourages research that seeks to transcend the conventional disciplinary boundaries in social science to capture broader and more nuanced perspectives of development problems. Inter-disciplinary sits at the heart of the Journal, reflecting the recognition of the necessity to engage politics, political economy and history to advance an understanding of local realities within a global context and of the global from the vantage point of the local. More specifically, it focuses, among other issues, on topics that deal with the analysis of rural and agricultural transformation, industrialization, development strategies, gender and poverty issues, science and technology and the environment with respect to Tanzania and other African countries.
