Politics & Ideas: A Think Net

Politics & Ideas: a think net is a Southern-led joint initiative of researchers and practitioners to produce and share innovative knowledge linking ideas and politics in developing and emerging economies. Its mission is to critically address the relations between ideas, research, and politics to support a more constructive use of research-based evidence in policy making. It encourages researchers and practitioners to identify their own challenges and share their perspectives about policy making as they encounter them at the local, national and regional levels.

The website brings together various activities and outputs produced by Politics & Ideas as well as others, including research papers, case studies, handouts, how-to-guides, literature reviews, etc. The research agenda covers many topics and research questions: politics, ideas, communications, capacity development and funding.
