The search engine does not distinguish between lowercase and uppercase letters.
A results page will be produced: a list of web pages related to your search terms, with the most relevant page appearing first, then the next, and so on.
Boolean operators
The operator AND is set as default between words. You can combine several words or phrases by using the logical operators ‘OR’ and ‘AND’.
You can also use plus or minus marks for including or excluding words (see below).
Ranking
The more of the words that are present in the page, the higher is the score.
If words appear in the same order as in your query, and close to each other, the score of the document gets high.
Phrase Search
Use quotation marks to compound phrases. If you wish to search for a phrase, you write text inside “…”quotation marks.
Eg. "African studies"

As a „middle road“ between „words and wars“ (Wallensteen/Staibano 2005) external sanctions are a commonly used tool of foreign policy to change the behavior of the targeted unit, to signal disapproval and to organize unity among the sanctioning countries. Sanctions have also regularly been applied against a very diverse set of African countries and actors at varying points in time. We have witnessed the sanction front against Apartheid South Africa, targeted UN-sanctions against UNITA in Angola and different rebel groups in Sierra Leone to curb trade of “conflict diamonds” as well as travel bans and asset freezes of Sudanese and Zimbabwean individuals. Recently, the UN Security Council imposed sanctions on Eritrea for backing Islamist insurgents in neighboring Somalia. A particular interesting recent case are the sanctions the African Union (AU) imposed on Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina and other individuals who have backed Africa’s youngest leader since he seized power. Conceptualizing sanction episodes as “two-level games” (1) being decided upon on the international or regional arena and (2) exerting effects on African states, rebel groups and rulers, we invite papers which deal with one or both of the arenas. Thus, we are interested in how African actors influence sanction episodes on the international and regional level. Second we invite contributions which deal with the political processes and the effects of sanctions of sanctioned units in Africa such as governments, rebel groups and rulers. We particularly invite papers which tackle these issues from a comparative perspective.
