| This annotated bibliography contains
summaries of 100 documents from various streams of literature relevant
to the issue of Bridging Research and Policy. It is part
of ODIs Bridging Research and Policy Project. In order to facilitate
access to the various summaries, the bibliography has been divided
into three key themes that roughly, though not completely, correspond
to the three dimensions elaborated in the framework paper Bridging
Research and Pro-poor Policy; Context, Links and Evidence (ODI
Working Paper 174, 2002).
Since several good overviews of the literature on the research-policy
link already exist (Sutton,
ODI 1999; Keeley
& Scoones, IDS 1999; Neilson,
IDRC 2001; Nutley,
Walter & Davies, ESRC 2002; Lindquist,
forthcoming 2003 from IDRC), this annotated bibliography does
not seek to replicate existing work. It aims instead to add value
in two respects: Firstly, new subject areas have been included,
such as social psychology, marketing communication, and media studies.
Secondly, where appropriate the mainstream literature has been supplemented
with alternative viewpoints that in some way seek to challenge the
status quo.
The bibliography includes a summary of the literature within
three themes with related article summaries organised according
to three different indexes:
Summary of the Literature
1. The political context
2. The actors (networks, organisations,
individuals)
3. The message and media
Index A, by theme and sub-theme
Index B, by academic discipline
Index C, alphabetical by author
