ASTK15631U SEMINAR: Global Public Governance
Content |
It has been argued that global public governance (GPG) involves new forms of politics, representation and layers of emerging governance, both internationally and locally, constituting multi-layered public governance. This seminar studies these rapidly evolving relationships between public policy and the institutions of global governance, including an understanding of how such institutions themselves provide forms of international, transnational, and supranational public policy. The seminar reflects two sides of this relationship: what is the impact of emerging global governance on national public policy? And what is the role of national and regional public policy within institutions of global governance?? Besides describing such recent developments and the challenges these present to changing understandings of GPG, the seminar provides important theoretical approaches from organisational theory, public policy, globalisation and global governance. The seminar will provide the analytical tools for understanding GPG, and will use a series of case studies to analyse this. Students will thus have the opportunity to develop critical and analytical faculties in the contextual analysis of these case studies. The key debates and discussions of the normative challenges of GPG, the complex interplay of current global crises, and the role of rapidly changing public policy are at the centre of the seminar.
