Our research
Our areas of interest include how policy is made, who helps to make it, and what the implications are in different social and political contexts.
Our research moves from the local practices of NGOs and community organisations in Africa and Asia, to regional and global public policy governance. We explain and evaluate the ethical and normative frameworks that shape public policy, and the processes of innovation and change management. We also develop frameworks and ‘tool kits’ for the design and assessment of policy and practice.
