The Welsh Government's key policy priorities include promoting economic growth, improving public services and tackling poverty. The Welsh Assembly has been granted a range of powers and policy levers that are relevant to achieving these objectives. But it does not currently have the same powers and responsibilities as the Scottish Government or many comparable regions/small countries in Europe and beyond. It also faces particular challenges associated with the delivery of public services (including health, education and transport) and the management of natural resources across its long and relatively densely populated border with England.The research will analyse the powers and policy levers that are used by governments in comparable countries/regions and study how these have been used to best effect. It will assess the implications of this evidence from other regions/countries for policy makers in Wales and consider what, if any, additional powers would be likely to assist Welsh Ministers to achieve their policy objectives. It will also study how governments elsewhere manage the cross-border delivery of key public services, with a particular focus on experience from countries/regions which have a strong degree of economic, social and political integration with larger neighbours.The study will combine reviews of the relevant academic and policy literature; the generation of new evidence through interviews with key policy makers; workshops with international academic experts to draw on experience and expertise from other regions/countries; and a programme of knowledge exchange with Ministers, special advisers and officials.

威尔士政府的主要政策优先事项包括促进经济增长、改善公共服务和解决贫困问题。威尔士议会被赋予了与实现这些目标有关的一系列权力和政策杠杆。但它目前没有与苏格兰政府或欧洲及其他地区的许多可比地区/小国相同的权力和责任。此外，香港亦面对与英国接壤的漫长而人口相对稠密的边境地区的公共服务（包括医疗、教育及交通）及自然资源管理方面的挑战。研究将分析可资比较的国家/地区的政府所运用的权力及政策杠杆，并研究如何运用这些权力及杠杆以达致最佳效果。它将评估来自其他地区/国家的这一证据对威尔士决策者的影响，并考虑有哪些额外的权力（如果有的话）可能有助于威尔士部长实现其政策目标。研究亦会研究其他地方的政府如何管理跨境提供主要公共服务，并特别集中研究与较大邻国在经济、社会及政治上高度融合的国家/地区的经验，研究将结合联合收割机对有关学术及政策文献的检讨;透过与主要决策者的面谈，搜集新的证据;与国际学术专家举办讲习班，借鉴其他区域/国家的经验和专门知识;与部长、特别顾问和官员开展知识交流方案。
