Overview
About the course
This Understanding Multi-level Government course at King's College London module uses a mix of theoretical approaches, case studies, comparative studies, and explorations of official documents to address these issues.
Civil servants also need to be aware of an increasing need for good UK-wide policy-making, as demonstrated by Covid-19. The module explores how the coordination and delivery of public services are more than simply engaging with the devolved administrations. In order to do this, civil servants need to have a firm grasp of the essential features and implications of devolution but also understand the complexities and how to engage with this within policymaking and delivery.
As well as the UK governmental structures, the module explores how other administrations come to decisions. There is a comparison with other international systems that have developed a federal system as well as a comparison with US-style federalism.
