It aims to bring forth new theoretical, methodological and empirical knowledge and insight on national arrangements for crisis preparedness, societal security and safety. Prof. Werner Jann and Dr. Bastian Jantz as principle investigators are currently part of this project which will run until the end of 2017 and which is lead by the Department of Administration and Organization Theory at the University of Bergen. Other partners include The National Defense College (CRISMART) in Stockholm, the Department of Political Science – Copenhagen University, School of Governance - Utrecht University and London School of Economics. Organizational structures and performance measurement of National Anti-Doping Organizations - an international comparison (running) – funded by the World Anti-Doping Agency The project analyzes the prerequisites for high performance of NADOs in creating a doping-free environment for athletes at different levels both in organized and in unorganized sports. he project will make a contribution to close the current research gap regarding the performance of NADOs by firstly comparing selected determinants and sources of organizational performance from NADOs in five selected countries, namely in Germany, United Kingdom, Norway, the Netherlands and Austria. Secondly, a performance index based on the above mentioned areas for these five countries shall be created that will be correlated with the different performance determinants in order to draw lessons about the best practice in the governance NADOs and in their preventive efforts. Reforming the Welfare State: Accountability, democracy and management (nearly finished) – funded by the Norwegian Research Council (http://rokkan.uni.no/sites/rtws/) There has been a growing concern that welfare states are inefficient, not sustainable and lack popular support. A series of reforms has been introduced to address this challenge, and the major recipe has been to grant autonomy to welfare institutions and responsibility to public managers. This has created confusion over whom public welfare managers are accountable to. Converging trends towards New Public Management have affected the balance between managerial autonomy and political accountability across welfare sectors and countries. To what extent has it been possible to combine the various modes of accountability? In what way, for what and to whom are public managers in the various welfare services held accountable? The main focus will be on administrative reforms and to what extent they have affected accountability relations in specific sectors (hospitals, welfare administration and immigration) and in specific countries (Norway, Denmark and Germany). The project starting in 2011 has a duration of four years and will be conducted jointly by the Stein Rokkan Centre at Bergen University (Prof. Per Lægreid), the University of Potsdam (Prof. Jann), the Danish Institute of Government Research (Karsten Vrangbæk) and the University of Oxford (Paola Mattei).
