In connection with the 25th anniversary jubilee of the Centre of African Studies, CAS has re-launched its series of academic working papers. The series was previously available under the name of Working Papers and Occasional Papers, but will in the future be published in a new layout as CAS Africa Papers. The historian Hans Erik Stolten is editing the new issues of the series. CAS Africa Papers will contribute to the understanding of Africa-relevant issues across a broad range of subject areas to provide both research students and established researchers with an opportunity to publish their results. Papers in both English and Danish language will be produced in a relatively modest format. The first paper titled, Reconciliation as a Paradigm in Uganda's Post-Conflict Reconstruction, is written by Stig Marker Hansen and deals with models of conflict resolution in Uganda. It is a follow-up to Stig Marker Hansen’s Occasional Paper from 2007 also dealing with peace-building in Uganda. The second of the new Africa Papers, Har klimaet ændret sig? En analyse af udviklingen i den internationale miljødebat med særligt fokus på Afrika, is a topical analysis of developments in the international environmental debate, discussing this issue with a special focus on Africa. This paper is authored by the present head of CAS, Stig Jensen. A third paper is authored by Ole Justesen and deals with the history of Danish African Studies, including Justesens own research on Ghana. The new Africa Papers can, together with previous CAS publications, be downloaded from
