Scholars at ICSID are currently implementing the research project “Political Economy of Development: Historical and Contemporary Factors”. The main objectives of the project are to study the incentives for strengthening regional governance, improving the quality of formal and informal institutions, and developing research on public goods provision and property rights protection. We concentrate mostly on Russia, but compare it with other countries and have started to expand our research to China.
