{"ModuleCode":"UHB2209","ModuleTitle":"Polycentric Governance: Possibilities and Pitfalls","Department":"University Scholars Programme","ModuleDescription":"This module takes an inter-disciplinary look at the multifarious concept of “governance” - how resources, issues and groups are organised and managed by a range of actors from the public, private and people sectors. Through a combination of academic work and case studies, the module explores (i) under what circumstances, and how, governance in the modern world needs to be more “polycentric” – taking place at multiple interlocking levels, including the global, national and local; (ii) key determinants of success or failure in different instances of polycentricity; (iii) both the benefits and limitations inherent in polycentric governance arrangements, as well as the challenges and obstacles to achieving greater polycentricity.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"0-4-0-0-6","Types":["Module"],"CorsBiddingStats":[{"AcadYear":"2015/2016","Semester":"2","Round":"2A","Group":"Seminar-Style Module Class 1","Quota":"24","Bidders":"31","LowestBid":"4","LowestSuccessfulBid":"200","HighestBid":"1623","Faculty":"University Scholars Programme","StudentAcctType":"NUS Students [G]"},{"AcadYear":"2015/2016","Semester":"1","Round":"1C","Group":"Seminar-Style Module Class 1","Quota":"25","Bidders":"28","LowestBid":"1","LowestSuccessfulBid":"99","HighestBid":"1201","Faculty":"University Scholars Programme","StudentAcctType":"NUS Students [G]"}],"AcadYear":"2015/2016","History":[{"Semester":1,"Timetable":[{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Saturday","StartTime":"1400","EndTime":"1800","Venue":"USP-SR1"}],"LecturePeriods":["Saturday Afternoon"]},{"Semester":2,"Timetable":[{"ClassNo":"1","LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","WeekText":"Every Week","DayText":"Saturday","StartTime":"1430","EndTime":"1830","Venue":"USP-SR1"}],"LecturePeriods":["Saturday Afternoon"]}]}
