PUBLIC POLICY

Public Policy is primarily concerned with Economic and Social Development with the ultimate measure of 'development' being the way in which policy serves the 'public interest'.

As an independent research and development centre, the Institute of Public Policy is engaged in policy research and evaluation, in the provision of post graduate supervision and scholarship, and in development activities aimed at advancing economic and social development within New Zealand and in the wider Asian and Pacific region.

By definition Public Policy encompasses a broad range of academic disciplines and traditions as well as significant community based interests in industry, the professions, and across the wide range of population groups that comprise our national and international communities. With a strong emphasis on evidence based policy and practice the Institute of Public Policy has identified the interface between research, policy and practice as one of its defining characteristics.
