Theme:

The event answered the necessity of adapting the existent methodology and of identifying new research instruments regarding both the democratic governance networks, and the interactions between different types of interest representation. Governance networks analysis depends on the studied policy, hence designing the research methods and techniques is a flexible and permanent process, which takes into account the particularities of the analyzed policy, the characteristics of the involved actors and the availability of information. At European level, there is good knowledge of the methods and techniques which could be used in governance networks research, but the specificity of domestic policies is an indicator of the need to train national experts capable of undertaking research in this field. Therefore, the organizers pursued, as well, the establishment of  tripartite frameworks for collaboration-comprising Romanian researchers (know-how providers), foreign researchers (counselling suppliers), and actors involved in public policies (beneficiaries)- in order to raise the quality standard of the domestic input in the process of analysis and policy-making at national and/or European level.
