“…Despite the importance of-and interest in-the topic, very little work has focused on the international development sector. With a few notable exceptions (Garret and Islam, 1998;Keeley and Scoones, 2003;Ryan, 1999Ryan, , 2002Lindquist, 2001 and the strategic evaluation by International Development Research Centre (IDRC) 2 ) most work has focused on organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries.…”

Better utilization of research and evidence in development policy and practice can help save lives, reduce poverty and improve the quality of life. However, there is limited systematic understanding of the links between research and policy in international development. The paper reviews existing literature and proposes an analytical framework with four key arenas: external influences, political context, evidence and links. Based on the findings of stakeholder workshops in developing countries around the world, the paper identifies four key issues that characterize many developing countries. These are: (i) troubled political contexts; (ii) problems of research supply; (iii) external interference; and (iv) the emergence of civil society as a key player. Despite these challenges, two institutional models seem to be particularly effective: (i) think tanks and (ii) regional networks. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Following Ryan (2002), a structured questionnaire was developed to guide these interviews. Given time constraints, every effort was made to adapt the interview to capture the expertise of the person being interviewed and hence the questionnaire was used more as a guide than as a strict protocol.…”

“…The benefits from economics research into policy reform, including the ACIAR-supported projects can be viewed as Area B in Figure 4, which arises because the process of policy reform is completed, in this scenario, by the end of 2003 rather than the end of 2004. Ryan (2002) took a similar approach.…”

Domestic grain market reform in china: the contribution of economic policy research funded by ACIAR

This paper reports an assessment of the impact of economics research into domestic grain marketing policy in China, which was partly supported by the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research. A financial analysis was conducted to value the contribution of these projects in bringing forward the adoption of more liberalized grain marketing policy. An estimate had to be made of the potential welfare gains from market reform in China because grain marketing policy in China in recent decades has been characterized by periods of reform alternating with periods of retrenchment in the face of uncertainty about how best to ensure food security. Any attempt to attribute some share of these potential gains to a particular research project is highly subjective when there are multiple sources of policy advice. The potential benefit cost ratio from the Australian investment may be in the order of 5 to 10:1.China, grain marketing policy, benefit cost analysis,

Social development as knowledge building: research as a sphere of policy influence

The value of using social development knowledge as a tool for building development policy was promoted by the British bilateral donor in the late 1990s. This article takes the case of a capacity building initiative that sought to build social development knowledge as a resource for policy formulation in 'southern' countries. Situating knowledge as a development resource presents difficulties for intervention processes that have historically developed to provide access to economic and social assets. This article highlights some of the problems involved in trying to build social development capacity and questions the suitability of this style of intervention. Inappropriate and short-term support for knowledge capacity building carries the danger that the traditional separation between the academic and practice spheres will be reinforced, making the process of democratising social knowledge more difficult.
