Research 2000-2005

CARR became an ESRC research centre on 1 October 2000, receiving funding for an initial 5-year period.

During this time our research was organised into two major programmes: 

• Organisations and risk management: Programme 1
  Encompassed managerial disciplines and sociology. Research projects focused primarily on organisations and their responses to risk, including their responses to various kinds of regulation.
  
• Government, regulation and governance: Programme 2
  Spanned political science and law, and focused on the state and supra-state levels of regulation, non-state sources of regulatory activity, as well as the regulation of the state itself.

These programmes were linked by a number of common cross-cutting themes which will be developed further in the second five-year period.

The research was funded from a unique mix of sources.
