Seminar description:
The Master seminar “Innovation in Politics, Administration and Planning“ examines the notion of “innovation“ from different perspectives and discusses how it is incorporated in the multilevel political arena, in administrative and planning systems. More precisely, it focusses how the innovation concept is integrated in today´s policy-making, public adminstration and spatial planning in a multi-level context involving the global, European, national, regional and local level.
The seminar starts with a theoretical discussion of what “innovation“ actually means and how innovations can be classified (industrial, technological, societal, political and social innovations).
In a next step, we discuss how these different perspectives of the concept play a role in politics, administration and planning, meaning how innovations are fostered, integrated and promoted. For that purpose, we will analyze UN, EU, national, federal state and local strategies, policies, funding programmes and also the specific innovation policies.
Excursions in Brandenburg and Berlin will be carried out to obtain practical impressions.
