Biography
Jean-Patrick Villeneuve is Full professor of Public Administration and Management. He is Director of the Institute of Communication and Public Policy, Head of the GRIP (Public Integrity Research Group) and Co-Director of the Master programme Public Management and Policy (offered in collaboration with the University of Lausanne and the University of Berne).
He holds a Ph.D. in Public Administration from the Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration IDHEAP/HEC Lausanne (Switzerland), an M.Phil. from Cambridge University (United Kingdom), an M.A/M.P.A. from Concordia University (Canada) and a B.A. from McGill University (Canada).
His research focuses on four topics: anti-corruption, civic participation, transparency, and accountability. His interests are methodological (how do we evaluate/measure them?), policy-focused (what are the challenges and limits to implementation?), and impact-oriented (does it work?). These questions lead him to critically evaluate concepts and initiatives often considered ‘absolute goods’.
His research has been funded by various public funding institutions, notably by the European Science Foundation, Swiss National Science Foundation and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. He has published in a number of top level academic journals and with leading publishing houses. He is member of various journal board and academic associations.
