Policy papers
Reflecting the evolving needs of governments, ReSPA produces a comprehensive portfolio of policy papers, including policy analyses and comparative studies, offering regional- and nationally-specific recommendations in the fields of PAR and European Integration.
In doing so, we combine qualitative and quantitative analysis, peer review, regional consultation, and comparative benchmarking with EU standards to ensure relevance, credibility, and usability.
Recognising that the political, institutional, and societal context is essential for reforms to be effective and sustainable, the ReSPA team focuses on producing policy documents that directly support evidence-based policymaking, institutional professionalisation, and tangible improvements in public service delivery across the region.
To date, we have developed more than 50 policy papers in close cooperation with leading international and regional experts. We play an active role throughout the entire policy cycle - from conceptualisation and initiation, through monitoring and quality assurance, to the integration of regional inputs and practical insights - ensuring strong ownership, applicability, and long-term impact of the recommendations.
