Policy Papers

Policy Papers are in-depth, research intensive papers that allow for the thorough examination of a topic. All policy papers undergo a double-blind peer review process to ensure unbiased methodological and conceptual evaluation. The analysis and recommendations produced in these papers and the ideas they articulate are a core component of the CGAI’s work. The Institute strives to produce approximately a dozen of these papers annually.
