Agenda setting is fundamental to policy development and policy change, and recent work has moved significantly beyond case-study based analyses of this process. It analyses long term patterns of attention to problems across different political systems and shows how problems are the currency of competition for attention. The mini-symposium builds on this development and seeks to extend its scope to a greater variety of studies in which agenda setting and policy dynamics are linked, and the impact of shocks and events on attention and saliency of policy problems are explored further. The research sessions thus aim at a further integration of different types of scholarly work on public policy and its driving forces. 2013-04-17T07:51:00+00:00 http://www.montesquieu-instituut.nl/9353000/1/j9vvhfxcd6p0lcl/vj7hmogc41xp?ctx=vignfygzbfxa&s0e=vhdubxdwqrzw The newest volume of the online journal Perspectives on Europe presents a special edition dedicated to the Comparative Agendas Project (CAP).

De winnaars op de agenda  waren issues over bankregulering, Interne Markt en arbeid. Dat blijkt uit een analyse over de conclusies van de Europese Raad in 2012, die door Petya Alexandrova is geschreven. 2012-12-18T15:19:00+00:00 http://www.montesquieu-instituut.nl/9353000/1/j9vvhfxcd6p0lcl/vj58e2zfmjih?ctx=vignfygzbfxa&s0e=vhdubxdwqrzw An intense two-day meeting of scholars of public administration and political science took place in the charming city of Leuven, famous as the home of the oldest university in the Low Countries. The Netherlands Institute of Government (NIG) organised its 9th Annual Work Conference, which featured higher number of panels and contributions compared to previous years. The Montesquieu Institute research group around the comparative agendas project was strongly represented in two of the workshops. 2012-12-07T09:23:00+00:00 http://www.montesquieu-instituut.nl/9353000/1/j9vvhfxcd6p0lcl/vj12lsftb79d?ctx=vignfygzbfxa&s0e=vhdubxdwqrzw The 4th Graduate Conference of the European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) was held on 4-6 July 2012 and hosted jointly by Universität Bremen and Jacobs University Bremen.

Een ander favoriet onderwerp van de Europese leiders – buitenlands beleid – bleef eveneens niet achter. Enkele relatief prominente thema’s waren interne handel en financiën, energie- en migratiebeleid. 2011-12-21T13:05:00+00:00 http://www.montesquieu-instituut.nl/9353000/1/j9vvhfxcd6p0lcl/viv3ntzjarus?ctx=vignfygzbfxa&s0e=vhdubxdwqrzw DEN HAAG (PDC) - Een intensieve tweedaagse uitwisseling van onderzoekideeën vond plaats in Rotterdam op 1 en 2 december.
