SOAS Development for Transformation Centre publications

The SOAS Development for Transformation Centre (DevTraC)* aims to harness research, evidence and knowledge exchange to contribute towards more just, equitable and sustainable forms of global development. 

The DevTraC publishes Policy Briefs, and Development Viewpoints which draw on research by SOAS researchers. The publications  aim to promote critical thinking and debate on development issues, and to engage with urgent policy challenges in this field.
