Research: a North-South divide
<p>Evidence shows a clear asymmetry of knowledge production between countries from the Global South and the Global North. Research on public policies is mainly conducted and oriented by Northern players, while research institutions from the South are often left out of the dialogue on development issues.<br/><br/>How did the Covid-19 pandemic impacted the integration of Southern think tanks in knowledge production? Did it open new spaces and opportunities for research centres to play a more active role?<br/><br/>In this second episode, Darius Farman, head of the Think Tank Hub, moderates a discussion between <b>Estefania Charvet, head of Programmes at Southern Voice</b>, a network of think tanks from the Global South, and <b>Paul Ladd, director of UNRISD</b>, the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development.<br/><br/>For further readings:</p><ul><li><a href='https://www.unrisd.org/80256B42004CCC77/(httpInfoFiles)/4A1D94EBE95DA31A802586D8004198E8/$file/UNRISD-Strategy-2021-2025.pdf'>Overcoming Inequalities: Towards a New Eco-social Contract</a> - UNRISD STRATEGY 2021–2025, United Nations Research Institute for Social Development.</li><li><a href='http://southernvoice.org/covid-19/'>Covid-19 in the Global South - A Digital Knowledge Hub</a>, Southern Voice.</li></ul><p><br/>"Shaping the future" is a podcast produced by the Think Tank Hub Geneva and recorded by Cornland Studio.<br/><a href='http://www.thinktankhubgeneva.org'>www.thinktankhubgeneva.org</a> </p><p><br/><br/></p><p><br/><br/></p>
