Acknowledgements

This report is the product of collective work by UNRISD staff and the collaborating researchers and partners in our networks around the globe. The report benefited greatly from conversations with numerous individuals on conceptual, methodological and case study issues as well as draft chapters. UNRISD gratefully acknowledges Sarah Cook, Director from 2009 to 2015, and Peter Utting, former Deputy Director and now Senior Research Associate, for their key role in kick-starting, supporting and framing this project. Paul Ladd, who joined UNRISD as Director in October 2015, has steered this project through turbulent times for the Institute and supported the report team with substantive comments, advice and guidance. Without his dedication, persistence and strong belief that UNRISD produces the kind of evidence and ideas that can support the international community to embark on a new pathway of transformation, this report would not have been possible.
