Arbetsbeskrivning

Södertörn University welcomes doctoral proposals in Political Science that specialise in public policy and administration or comparative politics. Work will be conducted within the EU-funded research project: “Sustaining Public Administration in Modern Democracies (SUPA)”, which includes research institutions across Europe and beyond. The SUPA Consortium’s analytical starting point is the observation that democratic governments often produce more policies than can be effectively implemented. Its key aims are (1) to identify strategies that make policy growth more sustainable and (2) to develop approaches that make public administrations more resilient to the threat of becoming overburdened. SUPA combines qualitative and quantitative methods to examine patterns of rule growth and the resulting administrative changes and challenges in six European States (Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Spain, and the Netherlands) and the European Union. Within this broader consortium, the Södertörn team is specifically tasked with evaluating the effectiveness of “rule-offsetting” schemes.  The project is located in the Department of Political Science. Political Science research at Södertörn University covers a wide range of topics, including institutions, political parties, parliaments, governments, governance, democracy, citizenship, justice, security, migration and community-building. Many of our projects focus on Eastern and Central Europe, Russia, the Nordic countries and the European Union. Political Science staff and doctoral students are greatly involved in national and international research networks, as well as engaging in multidisciplinary cooperation through the Centre for the Study of Political Organisation.
