The methodology behind Oxfam’s latest killer fact on companies $1 trillion in windfall profits

Some good news on falling global poverty levels (the multi-dimensional kind)
Devoted the last week’s posts to a new book, How to Engage Policy Makers with your Research: The Art of Informing and Impacting Policy. Lot of stuff to chew on in here, for those of us uncomfortably straddling the academic/advocacy divide.

Overall Book Review
Particularly nice chapter on Research to influence Sustainability Policy in UK
The Role of Critical Friend (something I do a bit of, so interesting to see it being systematized)
