R0040 - Bridging Research and Policy (ODI)
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 ODI’s 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

This Bibliography is also available as ODI Working Paper 174, 2002 (Pdf 534kb)
