Course content:
This introductory course provides a comprehensive and theoretically well-founded overview of public administration and the administrative sciences. Starting from the development of the public sector in modern states the different approaches to identifying and implementing public tasks are handled. The main focus lies on the integration of public administration in the political, social, legal, organizational and economic environment. In this analysis of public organizations, emphasis will be placed on the modernization of public administration, the use of information and communication technologies in government and the bureaucracy and administrative management issues. The course combines introductions to the cross-cutting issues of the administrative sciences with current issues of modernization in the public administration.
Educational objective:
Students get an overview about current issues of administrative sciences. They can capture important debates for establishing and carrying out public functions in the context of scientific literature and discuss and evaluate complex organizational problems in the public sector analytically. They can obtain the theoretical and conceptual foundations on concrete examples from the public sector and work out sound solutions. In addition to the analytical skills the students acquire the ability to professionally formulate their arguments in written and oral form in short comments.
