Information services for SWP researchers

The Information Research team supports SWP Research Divisions by providing quick, topical, relevant and quality controlled information. It monitors important sources (particularly academic publications, specialised databases, webpages and the press) and selects the most appropriate information.

The Information Research team is divided into the following sub-divisions:

• European Affairs
• International Security
• The Americas
• Eastern Europe, Eurasia
• Africa and Middle East
• Asia, Pacific Area
• Global Issues
• International Economics and Statistics

The SWP library is an in-house service facility for SWP researchers. It acquires, catalogues and lends academic literature, particularly electronic and printed journals as well as grey literature.

By arrangement, the Information Research Team can also provide information services for members of the German parliament and government.
