International and European Governance

The programme provides a solid foundation of core public administration courses which introduce classical and current debates on institutions and governance across multiple layers of jurisdiction. Next to these, the specialisation courses help students develop an understanding of the role played by international organisations in helping governments cope with the consequences of globalisation, but also in creating new rules and policies that affect the tasks of national and local administrations. Within this broader theme, specialisation courses deal with a selection of important topics analysing the challenges of governing above and across national borders: decision making in the European Union, EU policies and their effects on the national arena, the role of other international organisations such as the IMF and the World Bank in setting standards for good governance and in promoting reform, global efforts in supporting development and/or democratisation.
