A new Interplay between the State, Business and Civil Society

28-30 November 2011

In an age when private companies and non-governmental organisations are strongly involved in producing security, developing public infrastructure or delivering public goods, it is evident that we are currently witnessing a process of changing statehood, a process, which also affects the administrative state. 

One of the most interesting developments in this context is the emergence of a new interplay between the state, business and civil society. The course analyses the changing ways in which actors from these three sectors interact and the challenges posed by this coordination. The course takes an interdisciplinary approach that combines political science, public administration and law.
