Abstract

The track of Transformations Conference 2023 on “Transformative Policy, Institutions and Organizations” explored structural and agency-related aspects of transformation. These structural and agency factors included looking at institutional and governance arrangements that facilitate transformation and how diverse communities in policy-making might be more inclusive and involved. Two examples were presented: research into the enabling mechanisms for gender research in the agriculture, aquaculture, and natural resources sector in the Philippines; and an Australian/UK/USA case study into inclusive practices of exploring emerging national security issues like the human experience of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity. In this synthesis, we reviewed the presentations and discussions and created affinities between the discussed concepts. This synthesis has generated a series of insights, key discussion points, and principles for transformation in policy change within public institutions.
