COURSE DESCRIPTION
This training course will introduce students to the concepts, challenges, and underpinnings of institutional and policy legitimacy. It will explore how new institutions and policies shape and are shaped by innovations and new technologies, how new business-policy relationships are created, emerge and are legitimated in various contexts; and the impact of these processes on the economy and polity.
