About ResPublica



ResPublica was established in 2009 by Phillip Blond. We are a multi-disciplinary, non party-political research organisation, which combines cutting-edge analysis with practical impact to create bold solutions to enduring social and economic problems.

Current Work

Our research combines a radical, civic philosophy with the latest insights in social policy analysis, economic modelling, behavioural economics, management theory, social psychology and technological innovation to produce original, implementable solutions across six major project areas: Economy, Welfare and Public Services, Environment, Children and Families, Security, and Civil Society and Social Innovation.

As a result, our research, publications, videos, web-based pieces, conferences and events, and blogs, gain traction with politicians of all sides, industry experts, print and broadcast media. To take one example, our work creating new mutual models for our public services that give front line professionals more power over the public services they deliver, was adopted as flagship policy by both major UK political parties and featured in several news and media outlets.

Some of the things people have been saying about our work can be found here.

  • Funding our research. We at ResPublica are proud of the impact our publications and articles have made on the political and intellectual landscape. We are constantly looking for new intellectual territory, that requires a new way of thinking or an original policy approach.
  • Making a donation. We rely on the support of our donors and have a number of programmes for donors at every level. Each donation directly supports our exciting work of transforming the british political, economic, and intellectual landscape.

    • "Our nation's future depends upon us rediscovering our common traditions; of business, government and civil society working together in ever more innovative ways. With the right policies, together we can relocalise our economy, remoralise our markets and recapitalise the poorest members of our society. Please join us in this vital work."
