Course contents

The PhD course in Transnational Governance is organized by the Scuola Normale Superiore in collaboration with the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies of Pisa. The course, which ends with a joint Ph.D. degree certificate provided by the two Schools, combines structured teaching with close supervision activities by a dedicated faculty. The duration of the programme and its grants (4 grants for the academic year 2018-19) is four years.

The course provides tools to understand conflict and transformation of the relationship between societies and institutions with a theoretical and analytical focus on the role of governance in addressing complex phenomena (including problems linked to globalization and Europeanisation). Contemporary politics is increasingly characterized by processes that go beyond the traditional distinction between national and international spheres. National and supranational actors and institutions interact through trans-national dynamics and forms of governance. These phenomena lead to key methodological, analytical and theoretical challenges to the more traditional approaches to political and social studies. The Ph.D. programme deals with such challenges in a transnational perspective.

Through the lenses of political and social sciences and a multi-disciplinary approach open to the contributions of law and economic studies, the course focuses on institutions, actors and their dynamic interaction at European and global level with a specific attention to the supra-, trans-, and (sub-)national level of governance. The teaching programme is based on two levels. The first level provides a common theoretical and methodological background inspired by political and social sciences (in particular, political science, international relations, EU studies and political philosophy). The second level provides a more specialized training for the analysis of transnational governance, with three specific thematic areas open to cross-fertilisation: International relations, global economy and security; European and comparative politics and governance; Political movements and Trans-national civil society.

The three thematic areas will be addressed through the lenses of political science, sociology, political philosophy, law, and economics.

The Ph.D. programme aims at training scholars and highly-skilled experts who can work in academic institutions, think tanks and research centers, as well as in policy consultancy for international governmental and non-governmental organizations.

Employment opportunities

The PhD program aims to offer employment opportunities both in the academic and research fields (think tanks, research institutes, university-related foundations), and in the various non-university areas related to analysis, consultancy, information and management activities, such as in particular careers in institutions, agencies, NGOs and study centers at European and international level.
PhDs will acquire useful skills to move in a European and international job market which, although characterized by ever higher levels of specialization, requires a global understanding of the functioning of governance systems and the ability to interact and collaborate with subjects from different skills, often economic and legal. The deepening of advanced research methodological techniques will also allow to acquire skills directly transferable in the professional field.
Particular attention is therefore devoted to the acquisition of multidisciplinary and comparative skills on European and transnational governance, in order to prepare doctoral candidates for careers in the field of scientific research or to hold high profile positions related to communication in the context of Public Administrations, Organizations International, national governmental institutions, non-governmental organizations, political actors and businesses.
