The webinar organized by Prof Alberto Pirnie at the institute of law, politics and development at Scuola Superiore Sant Anna in Pisa, Italy by inviting Prof Sanjay Rajhans of HSE from the Department of Public Policy, Moscow to deliver a lecture titled “Terra Incognita or more of the same: The “Democratic unease” in the post Trump period” was a timely contribution with changes that have occurred across the Atlantic in the recent past.

The existence of “global public policy” is now widely recognized, both in formal terms (e.g., internet regulation) and as international standards and norms. Without a formal world government, however, the sources and processes of global policy-making are complex and multi-dimensional, branching out well beyond formal treaty-making bodies in the UN system. Of particularly interest in this presentation is the generation of policy advice and what we call “global policy advisory systems.” In this presentation, which is a part of our master's programme course Global Actors in Public Policy, Dr. Pal highlights some of the results of a three-year study of these systems, and current work on the role of global policy summits such as the World Economic Forum and the Doha Forum.

Prof. Sanjay K. Rajhans from HSE Public Policy Department visited the University of Torino in March 2020 as a visiting professor at the Department of Cultures, Politics and Society and in April as a visiting scientist at the Department of Law within the activities of the Program "Departments of Excellence 2018-2022", funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research.

From the 24th to the 30th of October 2019, a group of fifteen students and three professors from the National Research University Higher School of Economics, had the opportunity to participate in an ethnological expedition to Vladimir. The reason that led the group of students to this city was the local clash of ideals – if not mentalities - related with its central museum. During six days, with the support of the members of Vladimir’s independent journal, Dovod (“Argument”), the group of students, under supervision of their professors, was responsible to interact with the local population, interviewing entities connected with the museum, social communication, and the regional educational institutions.

Professor Alberto Eugenio Ermenegildo Pirni of Sant’Anna University, Pisa, Italy, visited the Department of Public Policy as a guest lecturer for the Project Seminar class, on 30th of September, 2019. Alberto Eugenio is also the coordinator of the research area in Public Ethics in the Institute of Law, Politics and Development at the Sant’Anna University and is a visiting professor at NRU-HSE, St. Petersburg.

This year, ECPR's General conference took place in Wroclaw, Poland and attracted more than 2,000 scholars from throughout the world and at all stages of their career. The Conference remains Europe's largest annual gathering of political scientists and one of the best platforms for academic discussion, exchange of ideas and the best thinking in the discipline.

We are glad to congratulate our graduates with succesful defenses of their master's theses and the culmination of a learning marathon that each student has worked hard to complete. The Department of Public Policy’s international Master’s programme wish them good luck and great succes in their further careers.
