Work Package 1

Will produce an analytical map of decision-making in the knowledge economy to describe the range of national policies and programmes that shape the national and international flow of knowledge and knowledge-producing capacity. In the same terms it will analyse European and global contexts including the Bretton Woods Institutions, and the United Nations and its agencies. It will also analyse the fast-changing philanthropic scene.

The results will be used to frame more detailed analysis of specific distributive and accountability mechanisms in subsequent work packages but written up as a exploration of the inbuilt distributive assumptions and practices of these global framing institutions it should also make a considerable contribution to current debate about their purposes and functioning.
