Program Overview

Program Description:

The MEPA program is designed as an advanced academic training in comparative public administration, European public policy and public management. It focuses on the comparative analysis of questions of public administration, public policy and public management in different countries within and outside the European Union, in the context of processes of internationalization, Europeanization and European integration, and includes the institutions of the European Union. The program intends to provide a comparative understanding of public sector structures, policies and processes in different European countries, as well as a methodology for analyzing and dealing with differential structures and processes of public sector management, guidance and control. A primary topic is the way in which the characteristics of different systems of government and administration with Europe relate to national and sub national perspectives on issues, processes and institutions of European Integration, both within and outside the borders of the European Union.
