New Agenda Journal
New Agenda is a South African Journal of Social and Economic Policy and IFAA’s flagship publication. New Agenda aims to bring solid, policy-relevant research to the public in an accessible and intelligible form.
The journal's mission is to promote alternative ideas on social, ecological and economic transformation and to challenge inequalities based on race, gender, class, ethnicity and caste, among others, as impediments to a just and democratic society. The journal encompasses South African, African and international developments in social and economic research and policy. We aim to provide high-quality pertinent information and analysis for people in government, academia and civil society. We are dedicated to promoting democratic participation in economic, social and political life.
New Agenda has been in existence for over two decades.
