To complete the PhD study programme in Political Science Lasse Schmidt Hansen presents his PhD dissertation, giving a public lecture followed by a defence. 

The subject of the lecture is:
The concept of bureaucratic decoupling describes a phenomenon where social clients do not perceive frontline workers’ decisions as a realization of public policy. How is bureaucratic decoupling governed by an institutional order? To what extent do the mechanisms suggested in the theory on bureaucratic decoupling resemble (or not) mechanisms suggested by theories on frontline work? And to what extent can we expect to find bureaucratic decoupling in institutional orders different from the one studied here?

The title of the dissertation:
That's the system: An Ethnographic and Theoretical Account of Bureaucratic Decoupling in Welfare Encounters

The Assessment panel consists of:
