Past Events

A seminar on multi-level governance was held on 19 February 2013 at Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow. The seminar discussed the theory of multi-level governance, the relevance to the contemporary political landscape in the United Kingdom, policy divergence and convergence between the various polities, the challenges of each devolved polity, the future of Scotland and local government as part of multi-level governance. The highlight of the seminar was the opening session by the Deputy First Minister of Scotland, the Hon. Nicola Sturgeon. [Programme]

The group supported the one-day symposium ‘Public Administration in an Age of Austerity: The Future of the Discipline’ at Aston University 11^th May 2011. A special edition of the event’s papers was published in Public Policy and Administration, available here.
