Welcome to the Pluralism Working Paper series for the Promoting Pluralism Knowledge Programme. The series provides a vehicle for early dissemination of knowledge and aims to reflect the broad range and diversity of theoretical and empirical work that is undertaken by academic researchers and civil society based development practitioners in association with the Promoting Pluralism Knowledge Programme.

The working paper series is intended to stimulate discussion and critical comment on a broad range of issues addressed in the knowledge programme and contains publications in three categories:

A. academic research (-in-progress) papers
B. practice-based reflections
C. interviews and conversations

We welcome feedback and encourage you to convey your comments and criticisms to the working paper series editors and directly to the authors.
