We provide in-depth research reports and actionable, impactful commentaries on issues that drive instability. We believe that a research-to-policy pipeline that addresses the issues that have the greatest impact, not the greatest public awareness, is of crucial importance to delivering the best policy outcomes for our society.

We produce rigorous, thought-provoking, policy-relevant research. Our approach is data-driven and nonpartisan – we follow where the evidence leads. Every output is grounded in analytical clarity, methodological seriousness, and relevance to real-world challenges. And every output ends with conceptual policy recommendations supported by our findings.

We have two core output types:​

Research Reports – Long-form, in-depth studies that provide original research and analysis, and long-horizon insight. Useful for experts and institutional referencing.

Commentaries – Shorter, conceptual, accessible policy-focused pieces offering timely framing and strategic perspective. Useful for public, media and policy advocacy.

These publications are designed to inform policy and the public, shape debate, and support better decision-making by governments, institutions, and organizations.

We prioritize topics that are important, neglected, and tractable – where better understanding can lead to better outcomes.
