Policy Case Studies
POLICY CASE STUDIES
The Centre for Public Policy and Administration (CPPA) has been established to build on the existing and significant impact Queen’s University already has on public policy globally by working in a more structured way with policymakers. We are keen to use our expertise and research to help develop solutions to the increasingly complex policy challenges we face as a society, collaborating with others as part of the wider policy ecosystem. This is consistent with best practice internationally where there are now rich networks and methods of engagement between academia and the public service.
The following case studies provide examples of the policy-relevant research conducted by Queen’s academics. Permission has been sought from all relevant academics to share these.
