300027 Private authorities: Public-private-partnerships (S) (SoSe 2007)

Das Seminar wird auf deutsch stattfinden und in der Form eines Kompaktkurses.

The seminar's ambition is to present, discuss and reflect upon problems of building order in global contexts of decision making through substituting public authority with private authority. This aspect is part of the more encompassing problem of global governance, which in itself is part of the more encompassing problem of the formation of a world society. The seminar will proceed in three steps:

• International regimes as processes of generation global order
• New balances of state authority and private authority
• Models of public private partnerships
