Our research will attempt to understand 'what lies beneath' in the infrastructure and fabric of our society and economy that inhibits and limits our capacity for reform and yet in some instances and elements may provide the dynamic for positive change Our future research plans are guided by a sense that the new reform challenges rest on the renewal of civic, social and economic infrastructures as much as public sector reform and institutional and governmental change The challenge for the future is to discover forms of governance and policy practice that will make our economy, civil society and democracy function more effectively
