The purpose of The ESRC interim report is to provide a concise overview of initial empirical findings for the first two research questions posed in the ERSC research proposal:
- How have perspectives, policies and decisions on growth altered before the recession to the period of changed economic and policy circumstances?
- How have perspectives, policies and decisions on sustainable development changed across this period?
The report is deliberately more of a descriptive nature at this stage, rather than a full analytical approach to the subject issues, however it does conclude with some questions and themes for discussion that will inform further work to be undertaken on the project.
