Objectif

This course focuses on the nexus between public administration and regulatory governance at the national and international level.

Contenu

Political-administrative actors in nation states are increasingly confronted with complex issues that are transnational in nature, such as financial crises, pandemics, climate change, food safety scandals, labor rights infringements, etc. To tackle these challenges, several types of sector-specific regulatory regimes have been created for harmonizing rules and standards, and for ensuring coordination across different levels of governance. These regimes are mainly governed through various types of international organizations and transnational networks that have been set up to achieve regulatory cooperation among nation states - while also transcending their boundaries.


To understand this crucial phenomenon, we will focus on regulation - as the main mode of contemporary governance by the state, within the state, and beyond the state - from a bureaucratic politics perspective. Different theories, approaches and methods will be confronted and discussed. Subsequently, we will examine: the growing internationalization of social, environmental, and economic risks; the logics of bureaucratic politics and administrative power struggles; the process of delegation of public authority and agencification in different countries; and the establishment, development, functioning, reform, and effectiveness of transnational regulatory regimes in areas where international regulatory cooperation is considered particularly challenging.

This course will be conducted in an active and interactive manner, alternating presentations by the teacher and participants, group discussions, practical applications, and external interventions by actors involved in public administration and international regulation.

The reference list and bibliography will be specified during the first session.

Evaluation

Students will be evaluated through a writing assignment, consisting of a short research project to be executed in the form of a case study or a comparative study.
