Research network on public management and governance

Current economic, societal, and technological transformations are changing management and governance practices in the public sector. The Public Management and Governance Research Network seeks to understand the influences and rethink theories and practices of the public sector at all levels: local, regional and central. As the role of governments evolves and new actors play a greater role in the delivery of services and goods, it is important to take a closer look at the arrangements that evolve between governmental and non-governmental actors. At the same time, there are increasing expectations of governments to meet current and future challenges and it is important to explore innovative models of management and governance that maintain the relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency of public sector organizations. This research program gives equal importance to research, knowledge mobilization, and professional development.
