What can President Eisenhower (and polling) teach us about the future of UK intergovernmental relations? PolicyWISE writes for Senedd Research

In our policy training for academics across the UK, we always emphasise the importance of parliamentary engagement. By working with parliamentary committees, research services, or directly with parliamentarians, you often have more scope to shape policy debates or ensure that your evidence finds an audience. 

At PolicyWISE we do as we say, and we’re delighted to have written a new guest article for Senedd Research, the research and information service based in the Welsh Parliament, who provide impartial, authoritative information on topical issues. 

The article brings together our recent polling, new research, and recommendations for intergovernmental and interparliamentary working. With a little bit of US Presidential history thrown in too. We also wrote a guest article for the Scottish Parliament a couple of months ago.

In the article for Senedd Research you’ll learn more about:

• Our cross-nation polling in Scotland and Wales
• Recommended policy priorities for intergovernmental relations
• The complexities of the UK Government’s dual role
• International best practice
• How the Welsh Government should approach working with other governments
