Research

Research is core to all Chatham House activities. We undertake independent and rigorous analysis with the aim of setting the agenda and shaping policy by encouraging new ideas and forward thinking in international affairs.

Chatham House research is structured around three areas:

  • Energy, Environment and Resource Governance
  • International Economics
  • Regional and Security Studies

Energy, Environment and Resource Governance

Research Director: Bernice Lee

This research area incorporates work on energy, environment and development policy and food supply. It aims to produce innovative thinking on the major policy challenges and to influence and enable decision-makers to take well-informed decisions that contribute to achieving sustainable development.


International Economics

Research Director: Dr Paola Subacchi

This research area is devoted to the study of international economic issues and policies. Its goal is to anticipate emerging themes, provide accurate and policy-oriented research, and actively contribute to public debate. Main research themes are trade, investment and finance, reforms and governance, globalization and regionalization.


Regional and Security Studies

Research Director: Alex Vines, OBE

This research area incorporates the work of our regional programmes: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Russia and Eurasia. Our research focus on these regions ensures that Chatham House is well-placed to identify potential sources of conflict and emerging trends. This in-depth understanding of regional issues also supports our work on thematic and global issues. International Security Programme research covers international, European and national security and defence issues. Work on International Law includes discussion of international legal issues and their practical application to current problems in international relations.
