We are delighted to announce the establishment of FourthIR Press, a forward-looking academic and professional publishing house dedicated to producing high-quality scholarship for today’s rapidly changing world.

FourthIR Press begins its journey with two flagship areas of publication:

  • Executive Intelligence – exploring strategy, leadership, decision-making, and the skills required to thrive in complex organizational, political, and economic environments.

  • Humanities and Social Sciences – advancing research and debate on society, culture, governance, economics, and human development.

Our mission is to provide a home for original, rigorous, and policy-relevant research that engages with the most pressing challenges of the 21st century. We aim to make knowledge accessible not only to scholars, but also to policymakers, practitioners, students, and the wider public.

As a new press, this is only the beginning. We are actively developing additional series and collections that will expand the scope of FourthIR Press into emerging and interdisciplinary fields. Our vision is to become a hub for diverse voices, bold ideas, and innovative scholarship that connects Africa with global intellectual currents.

FourthIR Press welcomes partnerships with researchers, institutions, and knowledge communities who share our commitment to advancing impactful and inclusive scholarship.

Stay connected as we continue to build a dynamic catalogue of monographs and publications that inform, challenge, and inspire.
