The number of independent think-tank groups around the U.K. continues to grow, but Demos is certainly one of the more compelling, and one that persons with an interest in public policy, governance, and other related topics will want to take a look at. The research at Demos is focused primarily around five themes: democracy, learning, enterprise, quality of life and global change. Along with its interest in producing informed research, Demos has initiated a number of practical projects as well. On the Demos Web site, visitors can read about the various research projects, read short briefs about completed projects, and browse through a catalog of publications. Some of the more intriguing research publications include such works dealing with educational assessment measures, the child protection system in the UK, and so-called inclusive communities.
