Our governance and policy team seek to understand the major challenges for contemporary public governance, such as environmental and health crises, access to public services, digitalisation and the rise of populism. We are globally-oriented and interdisciplinary scholars, concerned with both the craft of policymaking and the social, political and economic forces that shape patterns of governance. Our school is home to some of world’s leading policy researchers, who publish in top global journals, receive major competitive grants and fellowships and work directly with policy organisations to inform decisions with better evidence and more ethical decision-making.
