LIST OF PANELS

This workshop provides a public administration and policy studies perspective on our emergent transnational public sector. One objective is to stretch public administration concepts familiar to the domestic space to understand the administrative life within transnationally-administered spaces. For example, this includes questions about the interaction of global public good with administrative sovereignty, administrative law, evaluation, and accountability. Another objective is to advance and extend the existing tool-box of policy concepts and theories into new domains of policy making beyond the state to consider:

• the policy entrepreneurship of international associations;
• the financing and delivery of public goods and services by global public-private partnerships,
• the international policy coordination roles of trans-governmental networks,
• the fast growing new breed of so-called ‘informal’ international organisations like the G20, and
• the accountability, administrative law, and whistleblowing challenges of international organizations.

Participants in this half day workshop will develop a greater appreciation of how policy studies and public administration are moving away from foundations in ‘methodological nationalism’ to the development of approaches and conceptsthat capture the dynamics of the growing global public sector through incorporation of  ‘methodological transnationalism’ in our analysis.
