PASCAL International Observatory produces a number of different types of papers. The main series are Hot Topics and  Policy Papers:

Hot Topics

One of PASCAL's central services has been to periodically provide substantial papers exploring key issues within its remit which seek to consolidate thinking and understanding.

24 of these Hot Topic papers have been produced up to this point, beginning with Jim Cavaye's Social Capital: a Commentary on Issues, Understanding and Measurement in 2004; each of these Hot Topic papers is listed in the following section.

Policy Papers

PASCAL Observatory Policy Papers, which will launch in 2010, are shorter briefing papers written by PASCAL Staff, Board Members, Associates and Affiliates and offer original takes on key issues of priority concern for our subscribers.
