Public law constitutes the legal framework governing governance and is characterized by three defining attributes: regulatory, normative, and glocal (local–global) dimensions. The effective regulation of public relationships presupposes a comprehensive understanding of governance itself—an understanding that cannot be attained solely through the disciplinary boundaries of legal scholarship or by relying exclusively on doctrinal legal analysis.
Against this backdrop, a meaningful intellectual nexus emerges among the disciplines of law, public management, and political science, generating a shared body of concepts, theories, and analytical frameworks that transcend conventional disciplinary boundaries and give rise to the interdisciplinary field of Governance Studies. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective and employing a comparative analytical methodology, this study examines the educational programs in Governance Studies at Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Oxford, representing leading institutions within the Ivy League and Oxbridge traditions. The study seeks to identify the defining characteristics of governance education through a comparative analysis of their curricula and to derive analytical criteria for conceptualizing an effective model of Governance Studies education. The findings indicate that an optimal model of Governance Studies education rests upon three interrelated foundations. First, it embraces an interdisciplinary approach, in which law is understood as a socially embedded institution and legislation is conceived as a mechanism for balancing competing societal interests rather than merely regulating legal relationships. Second, it adopts a problem-oriented approach, whereby governance theories are developed through grounded, evidence-informed inquiry and emerge from the analysis of concrete public problems within their specific social contexts. Third, it relies on an empirical, evidence-based approach, in which Governance Studies are grounded in the systematic analysis of social reality and seek to explain the processes through which legal norms become socially institutionalized and governance arrangements achieve effectiveness.
