GOODPOL (What is a Good Policy? Political Morality, Feasibility, and Democracy) is an interdisciplinary project hosted by the Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) at The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. The project seeks to make political philosophy that is applicable and sensitive to democratic concerns, and evaluations of policy that are conceptually adequate and in proper touch with moral requirements.
