    MBRSG ACADEMIC PROGRAMS MASTER OF PUBLIC POLICY EMPOWERING LEADERS, SHAPING THE FUTURE... SG MASTER OF PUBLIC POLICY MBR Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government The Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government was launched in 2005 under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, as the first research and teaching institution focusing on governance and public policy in the Arab world. The School aims to support good governance in the UAE and the Arab world, and empower future leaders through an integrated system offering academic and training programs, as well as evidence based policy analysis and research. To that extent, the School ascribes to the UN’s Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME), as we believe in “Empowering Future Leaders”. The School began offering its first postgraduate program, the Master of Public Administration program in 2009. The School expanded its program portfolio in 2017 to include 3 Master programs under the title “Future Government Programs”. The School’s operations are founded on global best practices developed in collaboration with the Kennedy School at Harvard University, and it is considered a unique model for academic institutions in that it focuses on the applied aspects of governance. The School also collaborates with several government and private institutions both regionally and internationally. The overall design and implementation of training programs is built on the foundation of scientific thought and is inspired by the reality of Arab public administration and with a view to addressing the issues and helping future leaders meet the challenges facing public administration in various parts of the Arab world.

  • How Corruption Investigations Undermine Regime Support Evidence from China1
    How Corruption Investigations Undermine Regime Support Evidence from China1 Yuhua Wang2 Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA Bruce J. Dickson3 George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA April 26, 2021 Abstract uthoritarian leaders around the world often fight against corruption in an effort to win A public support. Conventional wisdom holds that this strategy works because leaders can signal their benevolent intentions by removing corrupt officials. We argue that fighting against corruption can undermine regime support. By revealing scandals of corrupt officials, corruption investigations can alter citizens’ beliefs about public officials and lead to disenchantment about political institutions. We test this argument by examining how China’s current anti-corruption campaign has changed citizens’ public support for the government and the Communist Party. We analyze the results of two original surveys conducted before and during the campaign, and employ a difference-in-differences strategy to show that corruption investigations, at the margin, suppress respondents’ support for the central government and party. We also examine our respondents’ prior and posterior beliefs, and the results support our updating mechanism. 1 We want to thank Jialu Li, Fenglin Guo, and Siyao Zheng for providing excellent research assistance. Eric Chang, Mary Gallagher, Yue Hou, Xiaobo Lü, Melanie Manion, Hsin-Hsin Pan, Liz Perry, Dong Zhang, Boliang Zhu, panel participants at AAS 2017 and APSA 2017, and seminars at Peking University, National Chengchi University, Harvard University, George Washington University, and Hertie School of Governance have provided helpful comments.
