Autioniemi, Jari

As a researcher in administrative ethics, I study integrity in public administration, the management of conflicts of interest, the effectiveness of integrity policies, and the systemic conditions for evidence-based decision-making. I often examine administrative systems through the lenses of paradoxes and complexity. I have participated in numerous research projects, including a comparative study commissioned by the European Parliament, which evaluated the effectiveness of norms and practices in managing conflicts of interest among ministers and high-ranking officials in EU countries. Additionally, I have co-authored a book: The Effectiveness of Conflict of Interest Policies (Peter Lang). I’m currently working on the RELIEF project, where I study complexity-aware evaluation and the conditions for sustainability agency, taking into account the normative boundaries set by principles of administrative ethics. I have extensively taught public administration, administrative ethics, and methodology (over the past ten years, I have taught over 40 times on 25 different courses). Additionally, I have designed and coordinated bachelor’s- and master ’s-level educational programs in two disciplines (Social and Health Management & Public Management). I currently teach the following courses: HTM3416-3001 The Future of Wellbeing Systems HTM3522-3002 Master’s Thesis Seminar HTKH2420-3006 Research in Practice HTK2601-3005 Research Methods
