About

SystemMapper examines the gap between formal political structures and actual power dynamics. It investigates how economic interests, informal networks, and institutional arrangements shape policy outcomes.

Integrating political economy, public policy analysis, and organizational theory, SystemMapper traces how decisions get made in complex governance systems. It focuses on understanding power as a systemic property rather than individual attribute.

Readers develop sophisticated understanding of how policy gets made and implemented. Each analysis provides frameworks for navigating complex political environments and understanding stakeholder dynamics.
