About the program

Speyer University, The O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University, Indiana, USA and USC (University of Southern California, California, USA) offer a joint summer program on comparative public policy and administration in Germany, the European Union, and the United States.

Five seminars provide an overview of major topics of public management in comparative perspective, European economic integration, multilevel policy-making in the EU, German Federalism in the EU, and Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.

The program provides German, US and international students with a unique opportunity to study issues of public policy and administration in an interdisciplinary and international environment and to share their experiences coming from different cultures.

Further highlights of the program are excursions to the European Central Bank in Frankfurt, the picturesque city of Heidelberg, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and the European Parliament in Strasbourg (France) and various EU institutions in Luxembourg and Brussels.
