Dr. Ir. F.E. Six (Frédérique)

Specialization

My research focuses on (public) governance puzzles in general and more specifically the role of trust and integrity in achieving good governance. Research interests are:
- the balance between control (compliance-based) and trust (values-based) oriented policies and practices;
- trust and regulatory oversight/regulation;
- integrity systems (in local authorities, banks, nations);
- trust in and within public organisations.
