International outlook and global responsibility

The course unit consists of two mutually supportive approaches. The first approach focuses on political leadership and its special features in relation to societal leadership in general as well as on the personal, organizational and contextual factors that influence the success of political leaders. The second one deals with political decision-making as a multi-stage process and with policy analysis as a theoretical and methodological approach in political science.
