General overview

• Presentation

  New at the start of the 2023-2024 school year.
  Digitalisation is a critical issue in today’s global and European politics. The fast spread of the internet to 63% of global population today and the increased use of digital tools for politics and policy-making bring about new opportunities and challenges. While it was hoped that the internet and digital tools would reduce barriers leading to more collective, democratic and borderless collaboration inducing positive social and political change, more recently the internet became to be seen to more likely reinforce existing barriers and even as rising threat to individuals, society, (democratic) governments. Thus, this master brings together students from different backgrounds to study various political, legal and social problems of the today’s digitalisation processes and explore new solutions to address them

• Learning Objectives

  The master’s programme Digital Politics and Governance examines the ways in which digitalisation affects states, politics, government, diplomacy and society. It explore how public authorities (regional bodies, nation states, European institutions, UN agencies) and private actors (individuals, organisations, transnational businesses, NGOs, etc.) shape the digital transformation of politics. The Master discusses opportunities and challenges as well as the negative and positive externalities of such digital transformations for states, societies, organisations and individuals.
