Introduction

Europe and the EU in a changing world

Our interdisciplinary master’s programme in Multilevel Governance in Europe is an advanced postgraduate degree focusing on the challenges and opportunities of governing in a multilevel setting. In the twenty-first century, governing is not taking place only through national governments, but increasingly happens withwithin and above states. The European Union is at the forefront of this development. By exploring the multi-level interaction between public actors (Member States, EU institutions, etc.) and private actors (companies, networks, NGOs, etc.) in Europe, this programme provides students with a deep understanding of the policymaking possibilities and constraints related to multilevel governance. This degree is designed for future professionals in European and world politics.

Overview

Multilevel governance involves a tension between solving supranational problems and maintaining broad levels of support among diverse national populations. Europe is a case in point of how multilevel governance is shaped through recurrent multilevel interactions between supranational and national institutions, frequently involving also relevant private actors (companies, networks, NGOs, etc.). Through these interactions, the rules of the game of both European and world politics are recurrently redefined.

This programme provides students with a deep understanding of how multilevel governance is shaped, with the European Union as an object of study from which to draw more general lessons for governance in the twenty-first century. Students will acquire the necessary know-how and the conceptual tools to understand, analyse and act upon problems related to public policy in the European multilevel setting. The study programme will equip students with the skills necessary to steer policies through the complex institutional and political environment of the European multilevel setting, at local, national, and international level.
