Institutional Shifts in Government and Governance in a Comparative and International ContextAbstract
This article analyses the recruitment criteria, career patterns and social
hierarchies of Dutch political science. Dutch political science is highly
internationalised and outward-looking. About one-fifth to one-third of most
departments is non-Dutch and English language courses are common. Two
MAprogrammes are offered solely in English, and Dutch political science
was among the first comprehensively to introduce the BA/MA system.
Research is also internationally oriented. Promotion is increasingly based
on merit although there are few women in the higher ranks. Working
conditions are generally fine and young scholars enjoy a relatively high
level of autonomy and reasonable rates of pay. The major hurdle is
achieving a permanent position.
