The Graduate School of Governance Studies will organize a symposium on September 24 (Sunday). This is an annual event of the school where professors and alumni of the school engaged in practice or research on public policy take parts as panelists. This year, the topic is “Transition for Sustainable Development”. In order to deal with mega-scale policy challenges, such as population decline and anthropogenic climate change, we need a meta-level governance that guides the processes of introducing new governance. In recent years, the shift of institutions has been called "transition", and a "transition management“ approach has been explored to accelerate necessary transitions by scaling up innovative practices for more a decade, particularly in the Netherlands. In this year’s symposium of the Graduate School of Governance Studies, we will focus on "transition.“ It will discuss the theory of transition and the latest trends in Europe, as well as such innovative cases of transition in Japan.
