Research Teams
independent, radical, progressive
ippr has established itself as one of the most influential think tanks in British politics. Our work has always been driven by a belief in the importance of fairness, democracy and sustainability. Working with all parties and from all parts of the United Kingdom, ippr prides itself on its independence and influence across political divides.
But, at a time of economic and political crisis, it is clear we now need more radical thinking to take this agenda forward.
Through our new Global Change and Citizens, Society and Economy programmes we are anticipating and shaping responses to the economic and political challenges faced by the UK.
Research Programmes
The society we live in has changed in important ways, meaning that progressives need to interpret the world afresh, apply our values to new problems and generate fresh thinking and proposals for change.
ippr’s Global Change programme seeks solutions to the challenges we face as a result of these trends. Its focus is both the impact of UK policies or actions on global issues and the impact of global issues on the UK.
