Learning outcomes/ assessment criteria Knowledge Knowledge at the highest international standard of key theoretical concepts of public economics (public goods, economic efficiency, equity, income and welfare distribution, etc.). Research-based knowledge of how activities that cut across conventional boundaries in public administration and policy, particularly Europeanisation and globalisation, affect these key concepts. Knowledge of the interaction between national and transnational (particularly EU) regulatory mechanisms that seek to influence key concepts of public economics. Skills Skills to analyse and reflect upon the evolution of the key concepts of public economics. Skills to evaluate the impact of various regulatory mechanisms on public economics at various levels. Skills to select and apply an appropriate analytical approach to a practical problem in the field of international public economics. Competencies Competency to take responsibility for one s own academic development. Competency to assess an issue, under pressure of time, within the subject area and to formulate relevant theoretical and empirical considerations about the issue in relation to its content, further analysis and possible relevant measures. Overall content The course focuses on the significance of increased activity and influence across borders for the key concepts of public economics (public goods, economic efficiency, equity, income and welfare distribution, etc.). Traditionally, these concepts have been analysed and attempts made to control them at national level, but the interaction between the national and transnational levels is increasingly challenging this logic. It is natural to give special attention to the importance of the EU s political economy and the market economics thinking expressed in the Treaty of Rome, and later in the Treaty of Lisbon. The relationship between the various substantial key concepts will be discussed in the course. Teaching and working methods The teaching alternates between lectures and exercises. After some course sessions, students will individually or in groups prepare examples of examination questions based on the teaching and the course literature, which will be posted on Moodle. Selected questions will subsequently be commented on by the course teacher. Students also take part in a full-day interdisciplinary workshop together with the semester s other two courses.

Additional course literature is listed in Moodle. Individual oral examination on the basis of a synopsis. The synopsis must be written on one of ten topics that will cover the curriculum broadly, and which will be published at least three weeks before the end of the course. Students may write the synopsis individually or in groups of up to three people. The maximum length of the synopsis is 9,600 characters, including spaces. The size specifications include the cover, table of contents, bibliography, figures and other illustrations, but exclude any appendices. Assignments that fail to meet the size specifications will be refused assessment, and one examination attempt will be deemed to have been used up. The assignment must be uploaded to eksamen.ruc.dk immediately after the conclusion of the course. The precise deadline for submission will be stated at kursus.ruc.dk. If the synopsis exceeds the permitted size, the student(s) will be refused permission to take the examination, and one examination attempt will be deemed to have been used up. At the individual oral examination, the examiner will ask questions about the synopsis and the theme it covers, as well as on the curriculum in general. The examination has a duration of 30 minutes, including assessment. The synopsis is not considered in the assessment.
