Course Director: Fredrik Galtung, Tiri - Making Integrity Work

Raising integrity standards of organisations is increasingly recognized as an effective tool to foster development and strengthen legitimate democratic governance. Organisational integrity here refers in large measure to internal processes of control and value-driven reform. Held for the sixth time in 2010, this course meets a need for critical and strategic approaches to successfully reform institutions to improve levels of governance and integrity. The domains where demand for integrity training is strongest are: public administration, business, academia, and the judiciary. The course thus focuses on attracting practitioners from these fields.

Drawing on interdisciplinary academic perspectives and lessons learned from practice, this course represents one of the few targeted, applied and yet conceptually grounded efforts currently available internationally for the analysis of corruption and anti-corruption. Topics covered include cross-cutting issues such as definitions, measurements and research methodology, leadership, public value creation, and ethics in public life, and also distinct areas such as access to information, fiscal transparency, and risk assessment and management with a focus on integrity issues in inter-governmental organisations, public administration, civil society, politics and parliaments.
