The German Institute for Global and Area Studies (German: Leibniz-Institut für Globale und Regionale Studien), also known as GIGA,[1] is a German research institute. It analyses political, economic, and social developments in Africa, Asia, Latin America, as well as the Middle East. It combines its analysis with comparative research on international relations, development and globalisation, violence and security, and political systems. GIGA researchers are sought after by policymakers to advise Germany's Federal Foreign Office, members of Parliament and other branches of the German federal government.[2] The institute is based in Hamburg and has an office in Berlin.[3]
The GIGA is a member of the Leibniz Association.[4]
