The Center for Policy Studies (CPS) is an academic unit within [[Central European University]], dedicated to improving the quality of governance in [[Central and Eastern Europe]] and the former [[Soviet Union]] by the provision of independent [[public policy]] analysis and advice. |
|||
==Activities== |
|||
The center believes that the experiences of post-socialist transition can be usefully shared with countries enduring great social transformation, but that the translation of these local experiences requires a sound appreciation of policy contexts. The center is committed to strengthening local capacity for critical [[policy analysis]] and pursues research and publication that is interdisciplinary and carried out with partners in the global policy community, particularly in [[Central and Eastern Europe]] and the former [[Soviet Union]]. CPS cooperates with institutes and researchers from [[Europe]] and beyond on a wide range of projects within eight broad research programs (see following). Each program benefits from expertise by CPS staff and a network of external researchers, and usually includes several ongoing research projects. |
|||
Research Priorities |
|||
* [[Good Governance]] |
|||
* [[Social Diversity]] and [[Equal Opportunity]] |

|||
==Main initiatives== |
|||
CPS has published several volumes of policy research, runs its own policy paper series and offers an on-line library of policy documents from [[Central and Eastern Europe]] and the former [[Soviet Union]]: the [[Policy Documentation Center]]. |
|||
===The Policy Documentation Center=== |
|||
This database of public policy documents from Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union is the largest of its kind, with over 1500 papers from over 60 institutes from over 25 countries. The PDC covers a huge range of public policy topics grouped in six main fields. The majority of papers are produced by think tanks and research institutes although the PDC also includes studies and proposals from several international programs. |
