Omschrijving	Policy and Governance highlights the relationship between state or EU level and society. Throughout the course, concepts such as ‘governance,’ ‘democratic stability,’ ‘electoral processes,’ ‘elections,’ ‘interest representation,’ ‘bureaucracy,’ ‘policy implementation’ and many others are discussed both from a theoretical and comparative perspective. As such, the course unravels the essence of the state and is constantly juxtaposing this with the policy processes that can be identified as taking place at the European Union level. Besides testing the students’ knowledge of the material discussed in the lectures and seminars, the students will participate in a simulation meeting of the EU’s European Council and Council of Ministers to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice.
