Research Republic is a public policy research consultancy providing high quality research and analysis for clients in the public, private and voluntary sectors. We examine political, economic and social change, and produce reports, reviews, briefings and presentations.
Our core expertise is in policy analysis, political economy and political philosophy, and we use this to investigate four contested concepts as they impact upon public policy. These are work - its changing nature and quality; knowledge - its generation, institutionalization and economic impact; value - its conceptions, measurement and politics; and economy - its management and its relation to politics.
We see these four concepts, and their interrelation, as central to the future of public policy and organisational thinking, and we conduct specific research programmes on each.
