Bringing Post-Growth Research into Policy

Richard McNeill Douglas - Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity (CUSP)
This paper analyses the barriers to bringing postgrowth research into policy. Its key findings divide into two main themes: a structural focus on tackling overarching barriers to the influence of postgrowth arguments, and a tactical focus on ways in which to amplify the influence of individual pieces of research. framing ‘growth dependency’ as a public policy problem has strong potential to influence political debate in new ways.

The Politics of Distributing Social Transfers

State Capacity and Political Contestation in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
Tom Lavers (ed) - Global Development Institute (GDI)
This book provides a systematic analysis of the political processes shaping the distribution of social transfers in six countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. In doing so, the book addresses a notable gap in recent research on social protection concerning the politics of implementation. it underscores the inherently political nature of implementation and questions common technocratic efforts to improve implementation by de-politicizing the social protection policy process.
