I'm really pleased to have been invited to present a virtual seminar as part of the PolicyNet group of which the Crawford School is a member. This will see me beamed around the world to institutions such as Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (National University of Singapore), Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs (Princeton, USA), Peking University School of Government, Hertie School of Governance (Berlin), Norman Paterson School of International Affairs (Carleton University, Canada), Balsillie School of International Affairs (Canada), The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (Geneva), and Tsinghua University School of Public Affairs (Tsinghua University, China). This is a great chance to link up with people in other parts of the world and to connect up our students (some schools use the seminar series as a basis for a course) - hopefully my Australian accent will not be too thick!!
I settled on the following title Understanding The Role of Public Managers in the 21st Century: Challenges and Debates. This will enable me to speak broadly about the changing role of public managers and how this has changed over time as waves of reform have redefined this role. It will also provide a chance to discuss some of the interesting debates that are emerging around the public value framework something I have spent quite a bit of time delving into over the last few years.
Recently John Alford and I published a piece in a special issue of the International Journal of Public Administration titled Making Sense of Public Value: Concepts, Critiques and Emergent Meanings. In the paper we revisited Mark Moore's original work on the public value framework - essentially a strategic management framework for the public sector - and then we considered how the notion of public value has taken off in different ways, especially over the last few years.
A fairly heated debate has been sparked through a serious of exchanges in the Australian Journal of Public Administration through a series of articles since 2007 which are essentially focused on the politics, management and whether this approach travels well outside the USA. More recently the debate has internationalised with our piece in the IJPA and a piece by Rod Rhodes and John Wanna being published in Public Administration. Expect this one to continue on for a while!

Hello, I was wondering if there are possibility to study abroad in your Uni for me - I'm from Europe, Lithuania.
ReplyDeleteHi Indrė,
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you. We don't do distance or off-campus education unfortunately, however we have a large and incredible diverse student population. If you are interested in policy and management take a look at our offerings at The Crawford School: http://www.crawford.anu.edu.au/portal/portal_index.php
I'm happy to talk further if you are interested!
Best wishes
Janine
I'm interested to do one semester studies like program in Europe Erasmus. University is giving scolarship for study fees and living. It's like exchange studies.
ReplyDeleteHi Indrė,
ReplyDeleteThanks for clarifying - this would be a common thing at the ANU and arrangements would depend mainly on the level of study (undergraduate, postgraduate) and the area of specific interest. Feel free to email me: janine.oflynn@anu.edu.au and I will try and provide some better guidance.
Best wishes
Janine
