PRISM in brief

Policy Research in International Services and Manufacturing (PRISM) is a research and policy ‘unit' located in the School of Economics and is affiliated to the Centre for Social Science Research (CSSR). PRISM provides a lens to focus research and policy work on issues of globalization and industrialization in Sub Saharan Africa. The CSSR provides management, administrative and financial services, as well as assisting in realising its wide research remit - to interface between economics and other relevant disciplines. PRISM provides a home to a number of independent research activities, projects and programmes. The broad focus of the research activities undertaken are all concerned with issues of globalization, global value chains, industrialization paths, the role of knowledge intensive services, international competitiveness. PRISM is managed by a Steering Committee consisting of Prof Mike Morris (Director), Prof David Kaplan and Prof Anthony Black.
