Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the issue of multi-level governance in the context of new concepts of regionalism and globalization. The course will provide students with information on current approaches to governance at different levels, so that they are able to understand the concept of governance in a broader context and to implement the acquired knowledge in their proposals and actions.
A student who has successfully completed the course can: characterize the basic principles of multilevel governance, explain the process of centralisation and decentralisation in the distribution of power, explain the role of the centre and the region in the development of the state and characterise the nature of plurinationalism and multipolarity, define the essence of the concept of 'new regionalism' and provide a professional assessment of the issue of globalisation and its impact on the economic and political organisation of the state, explain the concept of urban transformation, list and characterise the different concepts and identify the significant implications for their development. A student who has successfully completed the course will be able to: Evaluate the positives and negatives of different forms of power arrangements in the state and, on the basis of professional judgement, propose an optimal solution, compare the process of decentralisation and federalisation in Western and Eastern European countries, assess the role of regionalism and the importance of regional economic prosperity for the state, propose specific measures for cities in the context of urban transformation. A student who has successfully completed the course is able to: Communicate clearly to professionals and laypersons information about the organization of power and the distribution of "governance" in the state, formulate their own views on globalisation and its influence in shaping the principles of the new regionalism, orient themselves in new approaches.
