Workshop on "Participatory Governance: A New Regulatory Tool?" (9 and 10 December 2005)

The workshop examined emerging innovations in participatory governance at the international, national and local levels. It drew inspiration from research that has been carried out in the Institute for the past few years and combined it with empirical and theoretical contributions from researchers around the world.

The underlying aim of this Workshop was to move the debates on participatory policy processes “beyond the hype” and towards a more critical, and possibly productive, approach. The speakers produced written papers to be edited and collected in a collective book to be published by the Institute in the summer of 2006. For more information click here.

The International Internship Course

The International Internship Course on Social and Labour Policies for Decent Work, an annual event of the International Institute for Labour Studies was held this year from 11 to 31 May 2005. The course was in English language. The Institute hosted 23 senior and middle level officials representing governments, employers' organizations and trade unions from member States of the ILO. The main objective of the course was to enhance the capacity of participants to contribute to labour and social policy development in their own countries. To this end, the 2005 course specifically aimed at: (a) increasing awareness of ILO objectives and programmes; (b) encouraging an integrated approach to social and economic policies; and (c) stimulating cross-national exchange of views and experiences among potential policy-makers. The internship course consisted of a series of lectures, workshops and field visits related to the main themes and strategic objectives of the ILO's Decent Work Agenda. The interns also had an opportunity to take part in the International Labour Conference which took place in Geneva from 31 May to 16 June 2005.
