Assessing Displaced People’s Design Choices Around Social Assistance

Published by: Institute of Development Studies

This paper sets out to partially address the exclusion of displaced people from the design and planning of social assistance programming by consulting them in a range of design choices about how they engage with social assistance and what a good social assistance programme would look like. The paper draws on research in two locations (camp and city) in each of three countries: the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Lebanon, and Pakistan.

Protest Event Analysis: Grievances, Triggers, and Strategies in Authoritarian and Hybrid Regimes

Published by: Institute of Development Studies

Protests are a feature of both democratic and non-democratic regimes. However, protests in non-democratic regimes have received insufficient academic attention. The nature of protest grievances, strategies, and tactics have been little studied in authoritarian and hybrid regimes. Additionally, triggers of protests are themselves an under-theorised concept.
