Our research
The main objective of our research is to address the theoretical and empirical problem of how political institutions of high quality can be created and maintained. A second objective is to study the effects of Quality of Government on a number of policy areas, such as health, the environment, social policy, and poverty.
We approach these problems from a variety of theoretical and methodological angles. The institute brings together expertise from many fields, including political philosophy, media and opinion studies, public policy, political economy, public administration and public law.
