The Policy Practice undertakes policy work in developing countries and advises governments, development agencies, civil society organisations and companies. We provide practical, innovative solutions based on realistic assessments of the challenges and opportunities facing developing countries. Our multi- disciplinary approach uses 'The New Political Economy Perspective' to understand the processes of socio-economic change and their effect on the implementation of development programmes.
This new resource provides access to over 200 published and unpublished documents on the political economy of development.
