This roundtable is a reflection on academic exchange with the policy world. Experts of international relations will discuss worst and best practices for publicly engaged scholarship. The panel will draw on highlights from the centenary special issue of International Affairs, a “how not to guide” for international relations. Initiated and co-edited by our President, Prof. Dr. Amrita Narlikar together with Prof. Dr. Daniel Drezner, this compendium brings together renowned international scholars, who review their field of expertise and share their experiences with the pitfalls of policy advice.
The event takes place in the framework of the GIGA project “Transfer for Transformation (T4T)”. Under the lead of Professor Amrita Narlikar, and funded by the Leibniz Competition, this application lab seeks to develop innovations in the practice of knowledge transfer through consequent target group integration and novel access strategies. It also contributes to scholarship on this subject by analysing the effectiveness and impact of different types of policy engagement.
Our partner for this exchange is Bridging the Gap, an initiative devoted to enhancing the policy impact of contemporary international affairs scholarship. It equips professors and doctoral students with the skills they need to produce influential policy-relevant research and theoretically grounded policy work. BTG promotes scholarly contributions to public debate and decision making on global challenges and U.S. foreign policy. Within the academy, it is driving changes in university culture and processes designed to incentivize public and policy engagement.
