- An AHRC Research Grant has enabled a project on the foundations of egalitarian justice and its application to policy. Led by Dr Keith Hyams and Dr Robert Lamb, the project brings together philosophers and policy makers in a series of workshops and conferences and addresses issues surrounding equality and what bearing political philosophy should have on policy.
- Members of the Centre for Elections, Media, and Parties (CEMaP) have been awarded a four-year ESRC grant to facilitate research and training in the area of Comparative Cross-National Electoral Research (CCNER). Associate Professor Jeffrey Karp is the principal investigator and Dr Daniel Stevens, Professor Susan Banducci, Professor Jack Vowles and Dr Nicole Bolleyer are co-investigators.
- The University of Exeter is involved in one of the largest comparative public administration research projects ever undertaken. Professor Oliver James, together with researchers at other leading European universities, will participate in a €2.7 million European-funded programme of research investigating the impact of social service reform and assessing the prospects for the future. Exeter is the lead institution for the section of the project focused on citizen satisfaction, choice and voice in the public sector. The research will focus on citizens' attitudes and interaction with services.
