New Public Governance
The Department of Governance Studies aims to do research with both academic and social relevance. The centrale theme of our research programme are the organization and quality of public governance, with special attention for topics in safety and security and the welfare state. With our reserach we connect to important developments in society, economy, public administration and politics, and the new guiding mechanisms with public authorities, society and market that result from that.
Our theoretical and methodological research principles are divers. It's precisely this diversity of thoughts and the fact that we confront insights from different origines, that makes developing bodies of knowledge in our areas of research a fascinating and innovating activity.
Programme leaders: Prof.dr. Leo Huberts and Prof.dr. Willem Trommel.
