Boris

Boris Weber works on WBI's global governance program and, as part of the diagnostics team, on in-country surveys assessing the quality and integrity of public services. Previous assignments in WBI’s capacity development division and the OECD-directorate for public governance allowed him to work on a broad range of issues from citizen’s participation to human resources aspects of public management. He has authored studies on senior staffing and the political/administrative interface, on political accountability and the role of the legislature and on the democratic deficit of the European Union. He has a particular interest in the demand side of governance and the role of the media. In part this is due to his prior career in journalism. Boris has worked for leading print, radio and TV media and he has received journalistic awards in the USA and Germany. As a Chief Editor in Charge he has been responsible for running a major current affairs program on national German TV for over eight years. Boris is an Ancien Elève of the Ecole Nationale d’Administration where he has been trained in a French-German government program for young executives. He has earned a post-graduate Master’s degree in international public governance from the Sorbonne University and the University of Potsdam in cooperation with Sciences-Po, Paris, and the Humboldt University, Berlin; and he has earned a Master’s of law (LL.M) from the Sorbonne and the University of Cologne.
