Public administration and European integration (MJU-4)

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with different concepts of public administration (the concept of good administration, the concept of new public management, the concept of administration as a public service...) since the countries in the process of integration must decide to consistently implement one of the above-mentioned concepts, which are vastly different from the existing ones. Since the implementation of the communitarian system and its subsequent implementation requires a national administrative apparatus and a certain formal adjustment procedure, the study of the subjects will be based on familiarization with the institutions responsible for reform and harmonization, as well as on procedural issues from this area, both in BiH and with reference to the countries of the region.

Students will be able to understand the position of public administration in relation to European integration, which will enable them to identify the key needs for the development of administrative capacities in this area. The ultimate outcome of studying the subject should be the ability of students to participate and adapt the national public administration system in all its segments to the European Union public administration system.
