| 1 | Admin Law and Market Reg for non lawyers | RGBBE50310 |
| This new course offers students an introduction to administrative law and market regulation. It describes the evolution of administrative law in a number of countries and explains key concepts of administrative law (public body, administrative act/action, standing, judicial review of administrative decisions, deference, public contract). Moreover, this course reflects upon the shift from a traditional national model of public powers to a global or European model of intertwined public-private regulatory forces. In particular, the course introduces students to market regulation and explains how it affects the public/private divide and uses public and private law instruments and enforcement mechanisms to achieve its policy goals. Being comparative in essence, the course does not only discuss the developments within the European Union but also beyond. It also devotes attention to novel and more global phenomena such as the emergence of global administrative law and global private powers that exist parallel to traditional regulatory actors. Furthermore, the course combines the discussion of general and sector-specific aspects of the subject matter. This will allow students to apply the concepts learned in more general lectures to particular heavily regulated areas, such as consumer law and financial law and thus further develop their general knowledge of administrative law and market regulation. |

| 3 | Policy Science (5 ECTS) | RGBBE01305 |
Societies are confronted with complex problems that will be addressed by governmental institutions, think of poverty, climate change, dependence on fossil fuels, inequality, food scarcity, health care. Governments have the potential to (at least partially) deal with these problems. Still, we hear mostly about policy failure, whilst policy successes are not regularly celebrated. Often this is not due to mal-intentions, but to inability and lack of knowledge.
The course policy studies provides insights in the process, which describes how societal problems that presumably require government action are addressed, how solutions to those problems are formulated and implemented and how these solutions impact the problem. For this purpose a distinction will be made between political, technical and operational challenges when dealing with of complex problems. Not only the challenges will be discussed, also solutions will be explored that are suggested to overcome those challenges.
Topics that are covered:
- the selection of problems
- characteristics of policy tools
- effective decision making
- top-down and bottom-up implementation
- evaluation criteria
The insights will enable students to examine and evaluate existing policies and policy making, in order to develop recommendations to improve those policies or future policy plans.
Method:
During the lectures, the core concepts and theories of the policy process are discussed. The knowledge of the policy studies will be assessed with a written exam at the end of the course. During the course students will analyse an existing policy plan, explore its potential pitfalls or opportunities of improvement, making use of the literature discussed. |
