About CPSR

Center for Policy and Social Research (CPSR)

The Center for Policy and Social Research (CPSR) stands as a visionary initiative spearheaded by a dynamic group of emerging researchers impassioned by the prospect of making meaningful professional contributions to the expansive realms of policy and social research. This collective endeavor is driven by a shared commitment to fostering insightful analyses, innovative methodologies, and impactful solutions that address the multifaceted challenges inherent in the spheres of policy development and social issues. CPSR endeavors to carve out a niche as a hub of intellectual vigor, dedicated to advancing the frontiers of knowledge and effecting positive change through rigorous and forward-thinking research initiatives.
CPSR is actively engaged in research across two distinct yet interrelated cohorts, delving into nuanced aspects of contemporary issues and contributing to the broader discourse in the fields of policy and social research.

  1. Politics and Policy Research Cohort
    This cohort encompasses an extensive exploration of global dynamics, national political landscapes in targeted regions, political ideologies, governance structures, and the formulation of policies across various critical domains.
  2. Social Research Cohort
    Within this cohort, CPSR directs its research focus toward understanding and dissecting the intricacies of societal dynamics, legal frameworks, religious influences, and the complexities surrounding migration.

By structuring our research initiatives around these two robust cohorts, CPSR aims to contribute significantly to the advancement of knowledge in policy formulation, political analysis, and social dynamics, fostering a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted issues that shape our world.

CPSR has strategically centered its initial focus on regions of paramount significance, namely South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. This deliberate emphasis allows CPSR to delve deeply into the unique complexities, socio-political dynamics, and pressing challenges characterizing these vital geographical areas. By concentrating on these regions, CPSR aims to cultivate a nuanced understanding and make substantive contributions to the discourse on policy and social research within the diverse contexts of South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa.

CPSR welcomes collaboration with research organizations, universities, and civil societies, extending an open invitation to foster partnerships that amplify and enrich its initiatives in the identified regions. This collaborative ethos aims to synergize diverse expertise, resources, and perspectives, enhancing the collective impact of CPSR’s activities in the targeted areas. By actively seeking cooperation, CPSR endeavors to build robust networks and collaborative frameworks, facilitating a dynamic exchange of ideas and fostering a collective approach toward advancing policy and social research endeavors in these regions.
