Policy Entrepreneurship for Poverty Reduction Bridging Research and Policy in International Development

Bridging research and policy is a topic of growing practical and scholarly interest in both North and South. This book illustrates the value of existing frameworks and also adds new lessons: the need for donors and research foundations to foster research capacity and to protect it from political interference; the need for researchers to use detailed case materials in order to inform high-level policy debates within and across national boundaries, often by working in cross-country teams; the importance of presenting research results in such a way that they cannot be over-simplified; and the value of creating alliances between researchers and civil society advocacy groups.Court, Julius is the author of 'Policy Entrepreneurship for Poverty Reduction Bridging Research and Policy in International Development', published 2007 under ISBN 9781853396427 and ISBN 1853396427.
