Institutional Independence in an Inter-regional Perspective: A Multidisciplinary and Comparative Workshop. San Domenico di Fiesole (Florence), 6 April 2011.
The Max Weber Programme and the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies of the European University Institute are co-sponsoring a workshop on “Institutional Independence in an Inter-regional Perspective: A Multidisciplinary and Comparative Workshop” that will be hosted by the European University Instituite and will take place on 6 April from 9.30 a.m. to 1.15 p.m in the Conference Room of Villa La Fonte in San Domenico di Fiesole (Florence, Italy).
The workshop will examine the issue of institutional independence, as it arises in many contexts where isolating actors from short run pressures provides them with an opportunity to develop focus and expertise. Affording such independence can demonstrate credible commitment to a particular course of action and anchor expectations of other actors. At the same time, however, affording independence raises difficult questions related to institutional transparency and accountability, particularly in democratic systems of government.
The Programme of the workshop includes among the speakers: Mario Telo (Université Libre de Bruxelles), Allan Tatham (Péter Pázmány Catholic University, Budapest) and Fabrizio Gilardi (University of Zurich).
