development@manchester policy briefs

'development@manchester' is a series of policy-relevant research briefs designed to summarize messages emerging from research conducted within these different groups.

The one-page briefs convey clear, concise messages of relevance to decision makers and researchers alike. They also offer signposts to the larger bodies of research and publications on which the briefs are based.

In addition to communicating our findings to wider audiences, we hope these briefs will stimulate comment and debate on the issues that motivate our research.

We invite readers to comment on the arguments we make - you will find a link on each brief through which you can make your comments.

The series features contributions based on research undertaken at IDPM, the Brooks World Poverty Institute (BWPI), the School of Social Sciences and the School of Environment and Development.
