Chair in Innovative Governance

The Jean Monnet Chair in Innovative Governance grant was led by  and UVic's School of Public Administration with Tara Ney and advised by Oliver Schmidtke and Amy Verdun.

The aim of the Jean Monnet Chair in Innovative Governance was to internationalize, and to Europeanize three graduate programs at UVic's School of Public Administration, in order to better introduce students to policy processes of European integration in comparative perspectives. 

As part of the Jean Monnet Chair in Innovative Governance, two new courses were created:

• ADMN 470: Intergovernmental Relations Comparing the EU and Canada, a course exploring the coexistence of governments, and the complexities of policy making and governance arising from these relationships. 
  • Course information

• CD 525: Leadership and Community Development, a course exploring leadership in civil society, community development and social identity, as well the various tools for developing strategic priorities and planning frameworks for organizations and communities.
  • Course information

The Chair also introduced three new, Europeanized units to an existing course:

• DR 509 Dispute Resolution
  • course information

In addition, a workshop and conference with the Government of British Columbia and the office of the Ombudsman of British Columbia was organised in September 2018. Click here for the schedule.
