Course Aims | ||||||||
Policymaking often involves the collaboration of multiple stakeholders both within and outside government. For complex policy issues that span borders and impact society in numerous ways, this type of collaboration becomes even more crucial. One example is sustainability – a broad policy ‘mandate’ that links environmental, economic, and social dimensions under a future-oriented vision of human security, prosperity, and fulfilment. This course examines the justification, context, and mechanics of sustainability through the lens of collaborative governance. It focuses on cross-sectoral (public, private, business, and community) and cross-tier (global, regional, national, and local) collaboration. The course takes a broad perspective on the notion of governance and focuses on the macro level of collaborative governance (global politics and policy) through case studies. This course aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to understand complex sustainability challenges, and managing sustainability issues in the cross-sectoral and cross-tier collaboration process that will engage multiple stakeholders. In particular, this course could help shape and build the capacity of various actors across different sectors (the public, business and social sectors, etc) to engage the dialogue and solutions in achieving SDGs. | ||||||||
