Public governance delves into issues that are often central to public debate. Let us take just one example of a topic that has created a public debate in recent years: the referendum as an alternative, direct way of decisionmaking. Is the referendum a blessing for democracy, as some say? Or is it a curse for governance, as other claim? Public Governance prof. dr. Frank Hendriks gives us an insight into the matter.

In the program Public Governance, you will study the ways governments are organized and how they handle various societal issues in cooperation with their partners. You will study Public Governance from an international comparative perspective, and analyze the challenges at hand from the perspectives of Public Administration, Economics and Law.
