We analyse the ethical implications of the competing frameworks, and promote progressive interactions between state, society and market actors and institutions.
We're currently working on a range of topics including:
- policy for livelihoods: urban and rural
- intersections between formal and informal economies, understandings and policy responses
- the state in the formation of global cities (state-led world city formation)
- the state in the transition to low-carbon economies
- private sector approaches to community concerns
- state reconstruction in post-conflict situations
- agriculture development led industrialisation: viable as a development strategy?
