This programme studies decision-making processes and how to develop institutional structures that enable policy-decisions at various levels to move towards sustainable development. Research is carried out within the theoretical framework of the social, planning, and political sciences, and focus is on applications that tap existing theories and associated methodologies and adapt them to real-world policy and institutional issues.
