Die moderne Diplomatie ist mit fundamentalen Veränderungen konfrontiert, die in beispielloser Geschwindigkeit auf sie einstürmen: Technische Entwicklungen, insbesondere die Digitalisierung, wirken sich darauf aus, wie sie agiert. Es treten auf nationaler wie internationaler Bühne immer mehr Akteure auf, deren Tätigkeit die Diplomatie berührt; dabei geraten zunehmend auch innenpolitische Politikfelder auf die außenpolitische Agenda. Die Öffentlichkeit sensibilisiert sich für solche Fragen und strebt über soziale Medien oder andere Plattformen nach Einfluss auf die Diplomatie. Zwischenstaatlicher Austausch nimmt ebenso zu wie die innerstaatliche Interdependenz von Regierungshandeln. Inwieweit kann Diplomatie dann noch als legitime Repräsentantin einer in sich schlüssigen Außenpolitik wahrgenommen und entsprechend effektiv tätig werden? Nicht zuletzt ändern sich als Erstes die Ansprüche an Qualifikation und Persönlichkeitsprofil des diplomatischen Korps. Diese Tendenzen, allesamt Ausdruck all­gemeiner gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen, wird die Diplomatie verarbeiten und in Regierungshandeln übersetzen müssen. Vier Bereiche sind dafür ausschlaggebend: 1. das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen individuellen Befindlichkeiten und staatlichen Erfordernissen, das ohne Nachteil für den Staat zu nutzen ist; 2. ein Einsatz der Digitalisierung, der so erfolgt, dass die Gewinne an Effi­zienz nicht zu Lasten der Effektivität gehen; 3. neue Formate des Interessenausgleichs, die es Regierungen erlauben, unter Einbindung von Einfluss und Potenzial anderer Akteure immer noch als souveräne Staaten tätig zu werden; 4. neue Formen offener staatlicher Tätigkeit, die dem emotionalisierten Ausdruck von Teilhabewünschen gerecht werden, ohne die Prinzipien reprä­sentativer Demokratie preiszugeben.

The percentage of older people in the population is increasing. In the year 2060, one third of Germany's and Austria's populations will be over 65 years old. This will be a particular challenge for institutes offering further education. The empirical study "Education and Active Ageing" looks at the educational behaviour of older people and highlights the correlation between education and social inclusion. It addresses the factors that contribute positively to learning processes in the elderly and the way education impacts factors like health and social and political commitment. Best practice projects offer adult education providers suggestions for the planning and implemention of educational events. The authors Franz Kolland is Professor of Sociology at the Social Science Faculty of the university of Vienna. Pegah Ahmadi is a research fellow working on projects of geragogics and life course studies.

In this article, we reflect on the methodology of a digital storytelling workshop held in May 2016, gathering activists and academics across four generations to share and record their activist histories. Drawing on observational notes and participant feedback, we investigate whether and how the workshop challenged knowledge-production conventions, ageist assumptions, and intergenerational scripts. We offer the concept of a feminist intergenerational mic, arguing that the norm-challenging possibilities of this methodology lay not in providing access to a mic, but rather in particular, routinized, feminist and intergenerational practices. Through this article, we contribute to conversations about feminist methodologies, power and vulnerability in research, participatory media creation, and aging studies.

"Kindliches Medienverhalten ist heute zunehmend geprägt durch die Hinwendung zu digitalen Medien, insbesondere zu Spielen auf mobilen Endgeräten. Damit nehmen Kinder Teil an einem medialen und gesellschaftlichen Wandel, in dem Mobilität von zentraler Bedeutung ist. Zur Nutzung und Verarbeitung mobiler Spiele durch Kinder liegen allerdings sowohl national wie international bisher kaum sozialwissenschaftliche oder psychologische Untersuchungen vor. Erziehungswissenschaftlich ausgerichtete Studien, die herangezogen werden können, thematisieren vornehmlich Lernaspekte. In diesem Beitrag werden daher erstmals Daten über Nutzung und Bedeutung von digitalen Spielen auf mobilen Endgeräten bei Kindern im Alter von 6 bis 13 Jahren vorgelegt, mit besonderem Fokus auf den Stellenwert des Mobilen beim digitalen Spielen. Es handelt sich um erste Ergebnisse eines triangulativ angelegten zweijährigen Forschungsprojekts der Universität zu Köln und Fachhochschule Köln. Als zentrale Ergebnisse zeigen sich: Mobiles Spielen ist ein fester Bestandteil der heutigen Lebenswelt von Kindern. Dabei nimmt die Mobilität einen wichtigen Stellenwert beim digitalen Spielen ein."

Problem setting. Traditional mechanisms and management methods require new strategies for tools, there is an urgent need to reorient to modern management methods, the introduction of digital technologies in management processes to optimize and accelerate them. Creation of modern digital communications, the introduction of omnichannel, automation of standard operations, which increases the productivity of each employee, and in the future – the use of artificial intelligence for processing large data sets and full automation of public services. Modern public administration requires a fundamental rethinking and radical reengineering of management processes to achieve greater efficiency, improve service delivery quality and efficiency, and help increase the level of satisfaction of consumers of public services. Recent research and publications analysis. At the beginning of the 21st century, scholars and practitioners are faced with the need to revise and modernize classical models, concepts, and digital tools of public administration. The issue of digital transformations and reengineering of public administration has been the subject of research by many foreign and Ukrainian scholars, but the scientific literature lacks research on the concepts and mechanisms of digital transformation and reengineering in public administration. The paper objective – elucidation of perspective strategies of digital transformations of public administration, research of concepts and mechanisms of reengineering of service activity of public authorities, and development of offers on modernization of administrative processes. The paper main body. Within the concepts of service-oriented public policy we can define the tasks facing the bodies of public introduction in the process of digitalization of public administration: –increase the efficiency of process management through digital administration; –development of digital interaction with citizens, provision of digital management services. One of the methods of radically improving the quality of local government may be connected with the transition to e-government, reengineering of administrative processes. The vector of reengineering is the introduction of managerial innovations with the use of information and communication technologies, which, in turn, involves the implementation of active actions aimed at replacing the old capabilities of the state body with completely new ones. Currently, there are the following approaches to management: process, system, and situational. The process approach treats the management system as a series of directly interconnected actions, each of which is a process – a management function. The process approach to management is based on the Deming-Schuhart cycle – a model of continuous process improvement, (PDCA cycle: P – Plan, D – Do, C – Check, A – Act). The development of the PDCA cycle with a large number of correlations, with zero deviation, and the use of elements of artificial intelligence should lead to fully automated processes of providing management services by public authorities. The systems approach assumes integrity, which consists of interdependent parts, each of which characterizes the whole, and the organization is considered as a set of interconnected elements, such as people, structure, tasks, technology, and so on. The situational approach is based on the fact that the priority of management methods is determined by the situation. Due to the fact that there are many factors both in the organization and in the external environment, there is no single "best" method of management. Approaches to the management process are implemented through the introduction of management concepts. Business Process Management (BPM) is a concept that aligns an organization's strategy and goals with customer expectations and needs by customizing end-to-end processes. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a concept in which the recipient of services is given priority. To optimize management operations and increase organizational efficiency, it is important to combine CRM and BPM technologies. As the core of the CRM system, BPM technology allows you to quickly transform management processes to meet changes in external conditions, giving users immediate access to all the necessary information they need, which significantly speeds up workflows. Advantages of complex application of BPM technology of CRM-system in the field of service activity of public authorities: – modeling, adjustment, and monitoring of processes; – management of unstructured processes; – clear and transparent work processes; – process management in a single environment; – advanced analytics; – fast exchange of information due to integration into a single IT ecosystem; – scalability, security, and mobile access to CRM; – communication between structural units and service recipients. The effectiveness of the CRM solution is achieved by the correct application of the process approach and its close connection with the strategy. The capabilities of the BPM system are the key to continuous improvement of the management model and increase efficiency by combining the efforts of all employees and departments of public authorities. Conclusions of the research. The task of reengineering is to optimize the processes of providing public services. The object of reengineering is administrative processes, their optimization, and improvement, which allow to open and use new opportunities to improve management efficiency. Integrated use of CRM and the concept of BPM realize the main goal of reengineering – the ability to build adaptation systems focused on the production and fulfillment of requests from public service visitors and built processes to ensure they get the maximum result with minimum financial and labor costs. The result of successful reengineering is the improvement of numerical indicators and the quality of services. ; У статті з'ясовано сутність цифрової трансформації в сервісній діяльності органів публічної влади та реінжинірингу адміністративно-управлінських процесів.

The article is devoted to the problems of using distance educational technologies, which are barriers in the educational process. The authors investigate the possibilities of taking into account the technical features of the functioning of distance learning technologies and e-learning in the legislation, as well the conditions and problems of using distance learning technologies and e-learning in the educational process. The relevance of the problem is in improving the training of teachers for professional activities in the context of modern tendency in the informatization of education. Professional training is based on the inclusion of innovative activities in the educational process of a pedagogical university aimed at organizing creative informational interaction of students and teachers in the process of mastering e-learning technologies. In accordance with the new amendments in the Federal Law "About Education" the problem of including distance educational technologies in schools actualizes. In the article the directions of teachers' professional training for distance learning are defined, the main forms of teachers' professional training in the field of distance educational technologies at the stage of training at a pedagogical university and advanced training are listed as well. But there are barriers that impede the use of distance learning technologies and e-learning in the educational process. The difference between distance educational technologies and electronic education is whether there is a direct cooperation between the teacher and the student or not. If it is carried out and with using information technology, technical means, we are talking about e-learning. If the interaction is mediated - through the Internet, then this is distance learning. An educational organization has the right to use one or both forms of educational program implementation. It is important to prepare future teachers for the use of distance learning technologies in professional activities in the global process of informatization and digitalization of education. ; El artículo está dedicado a la problemática del uso de tecnologías de educación a distancia, que son barreras en el proceso educativo. Los autores investigan las posibilidades de tener en cuenta las características técnicas del funcionamiento de las tecnologías de educación a distancia y e-learning en la legislación, así como las condiciones y problemas del uso de tecnologías de educación a distancia y e-learning en el proceso educativo. El problema está en mejorar la formación de profesores para actividades profesionales en el contexto de tendencia moderna en la informatización de la educación La formación profesional se basa en la inclusión de actividades innovadoras en el proceso educativo de una universidad pedagógica orientada a organizar la interacción informativa creativa de los estudiantes. y docentes en el proceso de dominio de las tecnologías de e-learning. De acuerdo con las nuevas enmiendas a la Ley Federal "Sobre Educación" se actualiza el problema de incluir tecnologías de educación a distancia en las escuelas. En el artículo se definen las orientaciones de la formación profesional del profesorado para la educación a distancia, se enumeran también las principales formas de formación profesional del profesorado en el campo de las tecnologías de la educación a distancia en la etapa de formación en una universidad pedagógica y formación avanzada. Pero existen barreras que impiden el uso de tecnologías de educación a distancia y e-learning en el proceso educativo. La diferencia entre las tecnologías de educación a distancia y la educación electrónica es si existe una cooperación directa entre el profesor y el alumno o no. Si se lleva a cabo y con el uso de tecnologías de la información, medios técnicos, estamos hablando de e-learning. Si la interacción está mediada, a través de Internet, entonces esto es aprendizaje a distancia. Una organización educativa tiene derecho a utilizar una o ambas formas de implementación de programas educativos.

Problem setting. Civil society in the modern conditions of human civilization is becoming an ambitious regulator of public relations between society and the state. Democratic values, which are embedded in the development program of many world powers, have formed the basis of communication mechanisms for the interaction of numerous institutions of public power and civil society. At the same time, the latter have considerable socio-psychological advantages and significantly affect the development of public-institutional relations in the state. Therefore, the state with respect for society determines the parameters of political and legal interaction, state regulation, policy of development of civil society institutions, promotes their motivated activities, stimulates their social and consolidating purpose. In this context, the experience of European countries is invaluable for Ukraine. It is especially important to use the successes of practical activities of public organizations in the EU countries adjacent to Ukraine, which underwent similar transformational socio-political processes in the late twentieth century and managed to effectively implement the public management capabilities of civil society.Recent research and publications analysis. We study the experience of European countries in the interaction of public authorities and public organizations by analyzing the original sources of official documents and research authored by Ukrainian and foreign scholars. The list of used literature prompted us to look for the best examples of intersubjective public-administrative relations in order to apply them in Ukrainian realities.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. Based on the need to use the positive experience of the world's leading democracies in building civil society and the dynamics of its institutions, we consider it appropriate to identify the main trends in the system of public organizations in the European Union bordering Ukraine and have many common historical, cultural and social political characteristics (Poland, Hungary, Romania). In our opinion, such an approach would promote more effective adaptation of the state to the requirements of civil society at the present stage, would accelerate the improvement of state policy to promote the development of its institutions.Paper main body. The global dominance of democracy on the European continent at the end of the twentieth century was made possible primarily by Europeans' awareness of the integral values of human coexistence, attention to the daily lives of citizens regardless of language, nationality, race, religion. The basic principles of humanism, freedom and justice have become a solid foundation for civil society, which has become an example of modern development of the world's leading countries. The European Union emerged as an integral democratic institution, where the defense of human rights and freedoms is a priority of both continental civil society and each of its constituent states. The system of public organizations can be considered as an intermediate link that ensures this important mission and acts as an instrument of public interaction between the state and society. It is thought that the analysis of trends in their system in these EU neighboring countries can be accelerated by using a set of important criteria for assessing the level of development of NGOs, which will systematically give us the necessary performance indicator. Among them, we would emphasize such as state policy, legislation, civic initiative and the practice of public interaction of all subjects of state formation. We justify the use of the studied experience to analyze these criteria by the fact that they provide a holistic picture of common and distinctive features in the dynamics of the system of public organizations in a multilevel construct on a global (comparison within the EU), national (purely state-territorial segment) and regional (local territorial distribution) levels and assess the effectiveness of their public administration and institutional interaction with public authorities.For Ukraine, it would be worthwhile to use the experience of at least such neighboring countries of the Central and Eastern European region as Poland, Hungary and Romania, which at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s almost simultaneously made a successful transition to democracy and continue to improve the country's development. and social life. Thus, the development trends of public organizations in the proposed countries, which can serve as a good example for Ukraine, are defined in the following functional chain of assistance: public policy – legislation – civic initiative – the practice of public interaction.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. The principle of mutual trust and social responsibility is needed for effective interaction of state bodies with civil society institutions. As a result, there is a tangible synergetic effect of cooperation between state and society institutions on contractual terms. Work in the field of cooperation between government institutions and public organizations should take stable forms. And their subject manifestations can be the experience of profile interaction, when ministerial agencies directly cooperate with relevant organizations (example of Romania), the effectiveness of the service delivery and its digitalization (example of Poland) and coordinated policies to promote the development of NGOs and, in particular, ethno-national communities Hungary). This format of public administration relations should be instilled in Ukraine, for which a particularly valuable example is the business activity of the subjects of public administration relations, which is characterized primarily by the transparency of decisions, reciprocity of public action and social responsibility of the parties. ; Проаналізовано практику ефективної взаємодії представників публічної влади і громадських організацій у суміжних із Україною країнах Європейського Союзу (далі – ЄС) Польщі, Угорщині, Румунії. Наголошено на тому, що інституції громадянського суспільства мають неабиякі соціально-психологічні переваги й суттєво впливають на розвиток публічно-інституційних відносин у державі. Доведено, що ефективна адаптація держави до вимог громадянського суспільства пришвидшує вдосконалення державної політики сприяння розвитку громадських організацій. Визначено функціональний ланцюг сприяння, за яким проглядається логіка застосування міжнародного досвіду в українських реаліях: державна політика – законодавчі норми – громадянська ініціатива – практика публічної взаємодії. Наголошено на прикладах профільної взаємодії (приклад Румунії), ефективності процедури надання сервісних послуг та її діджиталізації (приклад Польщі) та скоординованої політики сприяння розвитку громадських організацій (приклад Угорщини).

The article provides a comparative review of the history, current status and areas of scientific activity of the Sociological Association of Ukraine (SAU), its creative ties with the European and world sociological community, in particular, joint research with Polish scientists. It emphasizes that most of the Ukrainian sociologists SAU members work in universities, the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and public opinion research centers. Numerous sociological (theoretical and empirical) studies on various issues of vital activity of modern Ukrainian society are carried out by their efforts. It is noted that in addition to studying the issues of social transformation in its political, economic, legal, social and cultural aspects, that have become traditional for Ukrainian sociology, in recent years Ukrainian sociologists have turned to the analysis of such problems as external and internal migration (the problem of internally displaced persons); military conflict in the east of Ukraine and the volunteer movement; social inequality, including in its new manifestations, including those caused by the digitalization of public life. It is emphasized that today the most pressing issue of sociological reflection is the changes that occur in Ukraine after the last presidential election. Attention is focused on the fact that the victory of the political rookie in these elections was due to the huge social disappointments of the Ukrainians, since their expectations provoked by the Revolution of Dignity were not fulfilled. The first and most important disappointment, according to sociological studies, is the fact that peace has not reigned in the country. Second, the living standards of Ukrainian citizens have not improved. Third, the fight against corruption did not bring significant results. Fourth, social inequality deepened: the rich became richer, and the poor became poorer. The fifth disappointment is the inefficiency of the declared reforms: judicial, medical, educational, customs, electoral, etc. It is emphasized that the effectiveness of the new government depends, among other things, on its consideration of such features of the mass consciousness of the Ukrainian population as a critical level of distrust of all institutions of power; value and ideological ambivalence and uncertainty. The conclusions are formulated about the unlikeliness of return of Ukraine to the orbit of Russian political and economic influence, as well as the victory of radical nationalist ideology in our country. ; В статье осуществлен сравнительный обзор истории, современного состояния и направлений научной деятельности социологической ассоциации Украины (САУ), ее творческих связей с европейским и мировым социологическим сообществом, в частности совместных исследований с учеными Польши. Подчеркнуто, что большая часть украинских социологов-членов САУ работают в университетах, Институте социологии Национальной академии наук Украины и центрах исследования общественного мнения. Их усилиями осуществляются многочисленные социологические (теоретические и эмпирические) исследования по различным вопросам жизнедеятельности современного украинского общества. Отмечено, что кроме изучения вопросов социальной трансформации, ставших традиционными для отечественной социологии в ее политических, экономических, правовых, социальных и культурных аспектах, в последние годы украинские социологи обращаются к анализу таких проблем, как внешняя и внутренняя миграция (проблема внутренне перемещенных лиц); военный конфликт на Востоке Украины и связанное с ним волонтерское движение; социальное неравенство, в том числе в его новых проявлениях, в том числе обусловленных дигитализацией общественной жизни. Подчеркнуто, что сегодня самым актуальным вопросом социологической рефлексии являются изменения, которые происходят в Украине после последних президентских выборов. Акцентировано внимание на том, что победа политического новичка на этих выборах обусловлена огромными социальным разочарованиями украинцев, поскольку их ожидания, спровоцированные Революцией Достоинства, не были осуществлены. Первое и самое важное разочарование, как свидетельствуют социологические исследования, связано с тем, что в стране так и не воцарился мир. Второе – жизненные стандарты украинских граждан не улучшились. Третье – борьба с коррупцией не принесла существенных результатов. Четвертое – социальное неравенство углубилось: богатые стали еще богаче, а бедные – беднее. Пятое разочарование – неэффективность задекларированных реформ: судебной, медицинской, образовательной, таможенной, избирательной и др. Подчеркнуто, что эффективность деятельности новой власти зависит, в том числе, от учета ею таких особенностей массового сознания украинского населения, как критический уровень недоверия ко всем институтам власти; ценностная и идеологическая амбивалентность и неопределенность. Сформулированы выводы о маловероятности возвращения Украины в орбиту российского политического и экономического влияния, а также победы радикальной националистической идеологии в нашей стране. ; У публікації здійснено порівняльний огляд історії, сучасного стану та напрямків наукової діяльності соціологічної асоціації України (САУ), її творчих зв'язків з європейською та світовою соціологічною спільнотою, зокрема спільних досліджень із науковцями Польщі. Підкреслено, що переважна частина українських соціологів-членів САУ працюють в університетах, Інституті соціології Національної академії наук України та центрах дослідження громадської думки. Їхніми зусиллями здійснюються численні соціологічні (теоретичні та емпіричні) дослідження з різноманітних питань життєдіяльності сучасного українського суспільства. Зазначено, що окрім вивчення традиційних для вітчизняної соціології питань соціальної трансформації у її політичних, економічних, правових, соціальних та культурних аспектах, в останні роки українські соціологи звертаються до аналізу таких проблем, як зовнішня та внутрішня міграція (проблема внутрішньо переміщених осіб); військовий конфлікт на Сході України та пов'язаний з ним волонтерський рух; соціальна нерівність, у тому числі в її нових проявах, зумовлених дигіталізацією суспільного життя тощо. Підкреслено, що сьогодні найактуальнішим питанням соціологічної рефлексії є ті зміни, що відбуваються в Україні після останніх президентських виборів. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що перемога політичного новачка на цих виборах зумовлена величезними соціальним розчаруваннями українців, оскільки їхні очікування, спровоковані Революцією Гідності, не були здійснені. Перше і найважливіше розчарування, як свідчать соціологічні дослідження, пов'язане з тим, що в країні так і не запанував мир. Друге – життєві стандарти українських громадян не покращились. Третє – боротьба з корупцією не принесла суттєвих результатів. Четверте – соціальна нерівність поглибилась: багаті стали ще більш багатими, а бідні – біднішими. П'яте розчарування – неефективність задекларованих реформ: судової, медичної, освітньої, митної, виборчої та ін. Підкреслено, що ефективність діяльності нової влади залежить, у тому числі, від врахування нею таких особливостей масової свідомості українського населення, як критичний рівень недовіри до всіх інститутів влади; ціннісна та ідеологічна амбівалентність та невизначеність. Сформульовано висновки щодо малої ймовірності повернення України на орбіту російського політичного та економічного впливу, а також перемоги радикальної націоналістичної ідеології на теренах нашої країни.

Based on the need to use the positive experience of the world's leading democracies in building civil society and the dynamics of its institutions, we consider it appropriate to identify the main trends in the system of public organizations in the European Union bordering Ukraine and have many common historical, cultural and social political characteristics (Poland, Hungary, Romania). In our opinion, such an approach would promote more effective adaptation of the state to the requirements of civil society at the present stage, would accelerate the improvement of state policy to promote the development of its institutions.Paper main body. The global dominance of democracy on the European continent at the end of the twentieth century was made possible primarily by Europeans' awareness of the integral values of human coexistence, attention to the daily lives of citizens regardless of language, nationality, race, religion. The basic principles of humanism, freedom and justice have become a solid foundation for civil society, which has become an example of modern development of the world's leading countries. The European Union emerged as an integral democratic institution, where the defense of human rights and freedoms is a priority of both continental civil society and each of its constituent states. The system of public organizations can be considered as an intermediate link that ensures this important mission and acts as an instrument of public interaction between the state and society. It is thought that the analysis of trends in their system in these EU neighboring countries can be accelerated by using a set of important criteria for assessing the level of development of NGOs, which will systematically give us the necessary performance indicator. Among them, we would emphasize such as state policy, legislation, civic initiative and the practice of public interaction of all subjects of state formation. We justify the use of the studied experience to analyze these criteria by the fact that they provide a holistic picture of common and distinctive features in the dynamics of the system of public organizations in a multilevel construct on a global (comparison within the EU), national (purely state-territorial segment) and regional (local territorial distribution) levels and assess the effectiveness of their public administration and institutional interaction with public authorities.For Ukraine, it would be worthwhile to use the experience of at least such neighboring countries of the Central and Eastern European region as Poland, Hungary and Romania, which at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s almost simultaneously made a successful transition to democracy and continue to improve the country's development. and social life. Thus, the development trends of public organizations in the proposed countries, which can serve as a good example for Ukraine, are defined in the following functional chain of assistance: public policy – legislation – civic initiative – the practice of public interaction.Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. The principle of mutual trust and social responsibility is needed for effective interaction of state bodies with civil society institutions. As a result, there is a tangible synergetic effect of cooperation between state and society institutions on contractual terms. Work in the field of cooperation between government institutions and public organizations should take stable forms. And their subject manifestations can be the experience of profile interaction, when ministerial agencies directly cooperate with relevant organizations (example of Romania), the effectiveness of the service delivery and its digitalization (example of Poland) and coordinated policies to promote the development of NGOs and, in particular, ethno-national communities Hungary). This format of public administration relations should be instilled in Ukraine, for which a particularly valuable example is the business activity of the subjects of public administration relations, which is characterized primarily by the transparency of decisions, reciprocity of public action and social responsibility of the parties. ; Проаналізовано практику ефективної взаємодії представників публічної влади і громадських організацій у суміжних із Україною країнах Європейського Союзу (далі – ЄС) Польщі, Угорщині, Румунії. Наголошено на тому, що інституції громадянського суспільства мають неабиякі соціально-психологічні переваги й суттєво впливають на розвиток публічно-інституційних відносин у державі. Доведено, що ефективна адаптація держави до вимог громадянського суспільства пришвидшує вдосконалення державної політики сприяння розвитку громадських організацій. Визначено функціональний ланцюг сприяння, за яким проглядається логіка застосування міжнародного досвіду в українських реаліях: державна політика – законодавчі норми – громадянська ініціатива – практика публічної взаємодії. Наголошено на прикладах профільної взаємодії (приклад Румунії), ефективності процедури надання сервісних послуг та її діджиталізації (приклад Польщі) та скоординованої політики сприяння розвитку громадських організацій (приклад Угорщини).

This book explores implications of the digital revolution for migration scholars' methodological toolkit. New information and communication technologies hold considerable potential to improve the quality of migration research by originating previously non-viable solutions to a myriad of methodological challenges in this field of study. Combining cutting-edge migration scholarship and methodological expertise, the book addresses a range of crucial issues related to both researcher-designed data collections and the secondary use of "big data", highlighting opportunities as well as challenges and limitations. A valuable source for students and scholars engaged in migration research, the book will also be of keen interest to policymakers.

This Research Topic focuses on both strengths and weaknesses of social innovation, technological innovation, and health innovation that are increasingly recognized as crucial concepts related to the formulation of responses to the social, health, and environmental challenges. Goals of this Research Topic: (1) to identify and share the best recent practices and innovations related to social, environmental and health policies; (2) to debate on relevant governance modes, management tools as well as evaluation and impact assessment techniques; (3) to discuss dilemmas in the fields of management, financing, designing, implementing, testing, and maintaining the sustainability of innovative models of delivering social, health and care services; and (4) to recognize and analyze social, technological and health innovation that has emerged or has been scaled-up to respond to crisis situations, for example, a pandemic of the COVID-19 coronavirus disease.

Was beschäftigt die Berufsbildungsforschung aktuell? Welche Forschungsfragen müssen sich die Forscher:innen mit Blick auf die Zukunft stellen? Der Tagungsband zeichnet die Themen und Diskussionen der Berufsbildungskonferenz 2018 in Steyr nach. Das Spektrum der Beiträge reicht dabei von der Kompetenzentwicklung über die Konnektivität in der Berufs- und Hochschulbildung bis zu Berufsbildung in der digitalisierten wie auch globalisierten Arbeitswelt und zur Berufsbildung für spezifische Zielgruppen sowie gendersensible Berufsbildung.

Im Jahrbuch für Pädagogik 2020 werden neue Verflechtungen von Bildungs- und Arbeitsverhältnissen diskutiert. Diese haben sich zuletzt grundlegend verändert und neue gesellschaftliche Spaltungslinien ausgebildet. Diskutiert werden Implikationen von Digitalisierung und Kapitalismus in einer Industrie 4.0. Es wurden historische und aktuelle Perspektiven aufgenommen, die eine kritische Haltung zum Verhältnis von Bildung und Arbeit vereint. Die Autor*innen der Beiträge vertreten unterschiedliche wissenschaftliche und auch praktische Positionen. (DIPF/Orig.)

Der Portalverbund ist Gradmesser der Verwaltungsdigitalisierung. Der Fokus der Abhandlung liegt auf der Bestimmung der Reichweite des Art. 91c Abs. 5 GG. Sie lotet Grenzen des Kompetenztitels aus, warnt vor einem ausufernden legislativen Gebrauch. Der Verwaltungsleistungsbegriff wird untersucht und der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit dadurch vom traditionellen Verwaltungsverfahrensbegriff abgerückt werden wird. Das Werk beweist Weitblick. Eng mit dem OZG verbundene Entwicklungen, wie solche des RegModG mit dem Datenschutzcockpits, werden betrachtet. Die Aussagen des Werks sind für die Verwaltung, Wissenschaft und aufgrund der gezogenen Kompetenzgrenzen angesichts der Dynamik des Rechtsgebiets auch für den Gesetzgeber und die Judikative von Interesse.
