The PhD-school in Society and Globalisation at Roskilde University hereby announces 3 PhD-scholarships for employment from the 1st of April or soon after. The applications should address one or more of the following three research themes:
1. Collaborative innovation in the public sector: New welfare – new forms of governance.
What are the boundaries and drivers for innovation in the public sector? How can new forms of interactive governance that enhance collaboration between public employees, administrative leaders, politicians, private stakeholders and users of public services contribute to the development of new innovative welfare policies and welfare services?
2. The challenge of globalisation in Western Europe.
How do the increasing social, political cultural and/or economic globalisation challenge well established ways of life in Western Europe, and what strategies are at play in trying top deal with these challenges. Research projects that include studies of the Danish situation are particularly welcome.
3. The changing relations between the Global North and the South.
