Welcome to this weeks Think Tank Roundup - a day late on my usual schedule and I'm lucky to find time even for that so things will be brief today. As ever anything worthy you think I might have missed...

The Institute for Public Policy Research

• Short paper by Rick Muir on the nature of the contemporary challenges to community cohesion in London and sets out how local actors have responded to them.
• Continuing a theme from last week the IPPR tackles the generational divide between young people and their parents in approaches to the internet and media literacy.
• And reprinted, I think, from CiF Danny Sriskandarajah mourns the fact that the Lords report on migration fell prey to the same demons that devour any attempt at sensibly discussing that topic.

Compass

• A collective piece from various Compass associates urging 'real & radical change' if the Scottish left is to survive and renew itself following losing to the Nationalists last May.

Elsewhere of interest:

• Chatham House report on a speech by David Cameron urging China to be more proactive on African issues.
• Henry Jackson Society on the often overlooked last dictatorship in Europe Belarus.
• Following the row a couple of weeks back about citizenship Joseph Rowntree Foundation has a good paper on how effectively citizens from different communities and neighbourhoods can participate in local government.

That's it for this week. I'm on holiday next week so the brevity will be compensated for by a larger round-up in a couple of weeks.
