Social justice
Our research ranges from the rights of people with mental health problems in the global South, to the rights of working children and young people, and community inputs into managing environmental risk.
Delivering socially just and sustainable futures demands governance that is accountable, transparent, democratic and inclusive at all levels – global, regional, national, local and within cities and communities.
Our research focuses on some of the challenges around governance, including resource limitations and state weaknesses, but also identifies new, innovative and experimental forms of governance, for example around natural resources. It also addresses the global governance of development and, in particular, Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals, which will shape government targets, civil society activism and societal expectations for the next generation.
