Informace učitele
November 28 – December 1 2016 Lecturers: Dr Wieger Bakker and Sebastiaan Princen (Utrecht School of Governance, Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance, Utrecht University) Content In this short course policy-making is placed in the context of the process of Europeanization. The emphasis here will be first on the characteristics of (local and national) policy making and implementation in relation to different aspects of Europeanization. Secondly, we will look at the constraints, demands and opportunities that result from Europeanization and with which local and national policymakers have to deal in their professional practice. Keywords are, among others, integrity, accountability, effectiveness and citizen participation. During this course we, thirdly, seek to bridge the gap between theory and practice by using the introduced concepts for the analysis and evaluation of actual (small scale) policies. As an exercise, we will experiment with the construction of a policy proposal.
