What should we do? What may we hope for? These three key existentialist questions are, of course, also relevant for a reflection on the future of Public Administration: What can we know, as researchers in the field of Public Administration, about our object of public administration? What should we do as researchers and teachers to make sure we remain part of a solution and to guarantee that we are ahead of reality and its future problems? What kind of improvement (or not) may we hope for a public sector in an increasingly complex society? This chapter tries to explore some possible answers to these three important questions for our field of Public Administration. The background is our common project about 'European Perspectives for Public Administration' (EPPA), which we hope to establish as a continuous dialogue and discourse in the context of European Public Administration and the 'European Group for Public Administration' (EGPA).}, language = {en} } @incollection{Tzoref2017, author = {Tzoref, Shani}, title = {Dignity Therapy and the Case of the Testaments of Abraham: Biblical and Early post-Biblical Precursors to Chochinov's Generativity Documents}, series = {Biḳur ḥolim : Die Begleitung Kranker und Sterbender im Judentum Bikkur Cholim, j{\"u}dische Seelsorge und das j{\"u}dische Verst{\"a}ndnis von Medizin und Pflege}, booktitle = {Biḳur ḥolim : Die Begleitung Kranker und Sterbender im Judentum Bikkur Cholim, j{\"u}dische Seelsorge und das j{\"u}dische Verst{\"a}ndnis von Medizin und Pflege}, publisher = {Hentrich \& Hentrich}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-95565-213-5}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {64 -- 108}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @incollection{Hassler2016, author = {Haßler, Gerda}, title = {Deg{\´e}rando's three prize essays and the shift in linguistic thought at the turn of the 19th century}, series = {History of Linguistics 2014 : selected papers from the 13th International Conference on the History of the Language Sciences (ICHoLS XIII), Vila Real, Portugal, 25-29 August 2014 (Studies in the History of the Language Sciences ; 126)}, booktitle = {History of Linguistics 2014 : selected papers from the 13th International Conference on the History of the Language Sciences (ICHoLS XIII), Vila Real, Portugal, 25-29 August 2014 (Studies in the History of the Language Sciences ; 126)}, publisher = {John Benjamins Publishing Company}, address = {Amsterdam, Philadelphia}, isbn = {978-90-272-4617-2}, issn = {0304-0720}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {149 -- 160}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Deg{\´e}rando started out from the views of the French ideologists on the relationship of language and thought, but increasingly distanced himself from them.

But why is this case? Obviously accountability is, like its counterpart transparency, a "magic concept", and an indispensable part of the prominent and omnipresent discourse on "good governance" as well as a significant element in debates about public sector reform. The same holds true for performance, which has been a magic and contested concept ever since New Public Management (NPM) entered the discourse about "modern" processes and structures of the public sector. But the third term in the title of this paper, legitimacy, even though it is one of the basic concepts of political science and democracy and is at the heart of Max Weber's theory of bureaucracy, has been surprisingly absent from current debates about the challenges of modern public administration, and for that sake also about the future of the welfare state. This chapter argues that different concepts of legitimacy lie at the heart of most debates about accountability and performance (input, output and throughput legitimacy), and that a better understanding of the relationships between accountability, performance and legitimacy can clarify some of the puzzles of contemporary research.}, language = {en} } @incollection{MahBellinMularskiIfenthaler2016, author = {Mah, Dana-Kristin and Bellin-Mularski, Nicole and Ifenthaler, Dirk}, title = {Moving forward with digital badges in education}, series = {Foundation of Digital Badges and Micro-Credentials : Demonstrating and Recognizing Knowledge and Competencies}, booktitle = {Foundation of Digital Badges and Micro-Credentials : Demonstrating and Recognizing Knowledge and Competencies}, editor = {Ifenthaler, Dirk and Bellin-Mularski, Nicole and Mah, Dana-Kristin}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-15424-4}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {511 -- 517}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @incollection{Usik2016, author = {Usik, Lillia}, title = {A Comparative Analysis of the Frozen Conflicts in the Post-Soviet Space}, series = {The European Union and Russia}, booktitle = {The European Union and Russia}, publisher = {WeltTrends}, address = {Potsdam}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {193 -- 239}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @incollection{Franzke2016, author = {Franzke, Jochen}, title = {After the Strategic Partnership}, series = {The European Union and Russia}, booktitle = {The European Union and Russia}, publisher = {WeltTrends}, address = {Potsdam}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {9 -- 25}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @incollection{ZimmermannDevaney2016, author = {Zimmermann, Andreas and Devaney, James G.}, title = {Succession to treaties and the inherent limits of international law}, series = {Research handbook on the law of treaties}, booktitle = {Research handbook on the law of treaties}, publisher = {Elgar}, address = {Cheltenham}, isbn = {978-1-78536-951-3}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {505 -- 540}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @incollection{Lottes2014, author = {Lottes, G{\"u}nther}, title = {Language and Content}, series = {Perspectives on English revolutionary republicanism}, booktitle = {Perspectives on English revolutionary republicanism}, publisher = {Ashgate}, address = {Farnham}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {53 -- 61}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @incollection{PetersenJuettemeier2011, author = {Petersen, Hans-Georg and J{\"u}ttemeier, Karl Heinz}, title = {Taxes, transfers, economic efficiency and social justice : essays on public economics 1979 - 2009. - Chapter 6: Social policy, higher education and environmental economics}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-50424}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2011}, abstract = {This volume contains the articles and papers which predominately have been published in international journals or edited volumes in the period from 1979 to 2009.

It is assumed that an F-feature marks just contrastive focus (Jackendoff 1972, Rooth 1992), and that a G-feature marks discoursegiven constituents (F{\´e}ry and Samek-Lodovici 2006), while discoursenew is unmarked. A crucial argument for G-marking comes from second occurrence focus (SOF) prosody, which arguably derives from a syntactic representation where SOF is both F-marked and G-marked.
