The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) Research Repository is an active repository of digital publications by IDS members and research partners. The Repository consists of a number of curated communities and collections.
The Institute of Development Studies is a global research and learning organisation for equitable and sustainable change. We work with governments, philanthropic foundations, academic institutions and civil society organisations to transform approaches to progressive social, political and economic change. Our world-class research, learning and teaching brings an understanding of people's lived experiences to policy and practice that can respond to unprecedented environmental, social, political, economic and technological disruptions globally.
