Programme

The shift from hierarchic government practices to cooperative and collaborative governance procedures and the recent changes of the political, social and economic conditions for public management and public administration require political actors to conduct processes of change and development in a systematic and responsible way, and to apply principles of good governance to their work within different regions and organi- zations.

Therefore, this study program aims to convey theoretical knowledge about governance concepts in a national and global perspective, as well as practical skills in management, public administration, and strategies for development and sustainability. It also offers the opportunity for individual specialization in more specific areas of public governance or public management issues such as sustainable development, economic development stra- tegies, collaborative processes or public tendering and public sector marketing.
