These are summaries of projects and manuscripts that present clear and concise research findings and highlight policy measures.
The list includes the WIDER Policy Brief series (ISSN 1455-9609). The complete UNU Policy Brief series (ISSN 1814-8026 online) comprises titles originating from UNU Centre in Tokyo and the UNU Research and Training Centres and Programmes network, and thus covers a broad range of topics and subject areas, beyond development economics. There is also a UNU Research Brief series (ISSN 1816-5796 online) that offers 'work in progress' summaries published to provide timely updates. The full list, download links, and details about requesting printed copies can be found at UNU publications.
