Hybrid Peace Governance: Its Emergency and Significance
No full textIn hybrid peace governance, liberal and illiberal norms, institutions, and actors exist alongside each other, interact, and even clash. Such a political, economic, and social order is a far cry from the liberal idea of peace based on legitimate and accountable democratic institutions, the rule of law, human rights, free
media, market economy, and an open civil society. This article accounts for the emergence of hybrid peace governance and develops a typology based on the war/peace and liberal/illiberal spectra. Furthermore, it discusses the implications of hybridity and, in particular, whether it can avoid the pitfalls of top-down
liberal peacebuilding and provide new opportunities for a more sustainable, locally engrained version of peace

Le Organizzazioni Internazionali: struttura, funzioni e impatto
No full textIl libro si apre con un capitolo introduttivo sul fenomeno delle organizzazioni internazionali, il ruolo di esse nella politica internazionale e l’analisi dei principali approcci teorici. Il capitolo si propone di fornire un bilancio dello stato dell’arte. I successivi capitoli empirici sono suddivisi in tre parti. La prima parte analizza il ruolo delle organizzazioni internazionali nelle politiche di promozione della pace e della sicurezza. Le Nazioni Unite, l’Unione Europea e la NATO sono analizzate con particolare riferimento, rispettivamente, alle operazioni di pace, alla politica estera, e alla sicurezza collettiva. La seconda parte discute aspetti economici e finanziari e si occupa in particolare dell’assistenza finanziaria fornita dal Fondo Monetario Internazionale, delle operazioni di liberalizzazione dei servizi compiute dall’Organizzazione Mondiale del Commercio, della lotta alla povertà promossa dalla Banca Mondiale, delle forme di integrazione economica concepite da alcune organizzazioni regionali. La terza parte si concentra sulle questioni umanitarie e sociali. Il primo capitolo discute il ruolo della Corte Penale Internazionale nella prevenzione dei conflitti; il secondo capitolo analizza gli organismi delle Nazioni Unite che si occupano di ambiente; il terzo è dedicato all’Alto Commissariato per i Rifugiati e al problema umanitario. Il capitolo conclusivo riflette sul ruolo delle organizzazioni internazionali nella governance globale e sul processo di progressiva ridefinizione della sovranità statale
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
