International Public Policy

Inhalte

The seminar explores how governments, transnational business actors, civil society, and international organizations respond to problems of a border-transgressing nature (e.g. the spread of communicable diseases, transnational terrorism). We discuss the effectiveness and accountability of existing governance arrangements, the challenge of a changing architecture of global governance (e. g. due to the rise of new powers and the new role of business) and recent responses to selected problems. The course combines reviews of scientific debates with the study of policy practice.
