The third wave of globalisation
This report, the culmination of an internation programme of research into the drivers and consequences of globalisation, calls for a rethink in international governance and a more 'personcentric' view of globalisation. It argues that the world is facing the third wave of globalisation, one characterised by the lack of a single leading nation or foundational project.
Pubs and places: The social value of community pubs (2nd ed, 2012)
Community pubs are one of Britain’s oldest and most popular social institutions. However, they are currently under pressure, with 16 pubs closing every week. This report assesses the social value of community pubs, showing why pubs matter, and why we should be concerned about the current state of the pub trade.
The dog that finally barked: England as an emerging political community
This report presents evidence which suggests the emergence of a new kind of Anglo-British identity in which the English component is increasingly the primary source of attachment for English people. It also suggests that English identity is becoming more politicised: that is, the more English a person feels, the more likely they are to believe that the current structure of the UK is unfair and to support a particularly English dimension to the governance of England.

Englishness is becoming more politicised argues Guy Lodge
Following the latest publication from IPPR about English identity, Guy Lodge argues that people now feel more ‘English’ than ‘British’ in England. He warns that 'political parties have to address the English question in its own right'.
Chuka Umunna on perverse pay structures
Chuka Umunna speaks to IPPR following a debate on executive pay at the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICAEW) on 12 January. He says that 'excessive pay and rewards for failure are bad for companies themselves along with our economy and society as well'. He believes that we need to build a culture that 'encourages people to buy and invest in the goals of the businesses' they work for.
Frank Field argues for changes to the right to buy scheme
The Labour MP has co-authored a paper for IPPR with Conservative MP David Davis, calling for incentives to be improved and inconsistencies to be ironed out so that the right to buy scheme can open up home ownership opportunities for many more tenants and release valuable capital for building more social housing.
Kayte Lawton argues the need for employee involvement in decision-making around pay
Following the latest analysis from IPPR which suggests that executive pay increases are not justified by the performance of their companies, Kayte Lawton argues the need to have employees closely involved in the decision-making around pay. One idea is to have 'employee representatives on the remuneration committees that set top pay' and that by doing this it will 'help to ensure the company's success is more fairly shared across everyone in that organisation'.
Andy Hull explains the need for housing development reform
We currently have a housing industry which looks to make a lot of money from building a small number of houses, he says, and to stop this we need to split the development process in two, with land trading on one side and house building on the other.

20 years of talking: Have the global climate negotiations achieved anything?
In June the world will celebrate two decades of concerted climate and environmental talks at the Rio+20 summit. But do we have anything to be proud of, or have the annual climate talks become nothing more than flogging a dead horse?

Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China
Perhaps no one in the twentieth century had a greater long-term impact on world history than Deng Xiaoping. Pragmatic yet disciplined he was the driving force behind China's radical transformation in the late twentieth century from a chaotic, closed country to a powerful international force.
