    Science politiqueLe Haut Commissariat des Nations Unies pour les réfugiés (HCR) a, en vertu de son mandat, la mission d’assurer la recherche de solutions durables pour les personnes relevant de sa compétence. Les trois solutions principales traitées dans cette étude sont l’asile, le rapatriement volontaire, et la réinstallation dans un pays tiers. L’Asie du Sud, région traditionnellement moins évoquée que d’autres sur la période étudiée, constitue pourtant une zone aux caractéristiques complexes et clé dans l’étude de l’action du HCR. Face aux défis de la mondialisation, il convient d’établir une réflexion sur la pertinence, les logiques et les contraintes soumises à la mise en place de chaque solution. En étudiant l’inscription de chaque solution en Asie du Sud, à travers des ouvrages, des articles scientifiques et des rapports officiels, cette étude tente de mettre en avant l’influence du contexte sur les activités de coordination du HCR. Il apparaît que chaque solution présente des spécificités et ses limites, le point commun étant l’importance du degré de coopération entre les différentes parties impliquées et le rôle central du HCR dans la recherche d’issues assurant la paix et la dignité. La réintégration durable est au coeur des perspectives d’action du HCR, néanmoins confrontée à des obstacles de taille face auxquels l’organe onusien peut s’avérer impuissant.In virtue of his mandate, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has the mission to lead and promote the search for solutions for people who come under his jurisdiction. This study focuses on three main solutions, which are asylum, voluntary repatriation and resettlement in a third country. South Asia, a region traditionally less evoked than others during the period studied, nevertheless constitutes an area with complex and key characteristics in the study of UNHCR's action. Faced with the challenges of globalization, it appears necessary to establish a reflection on the relevance, the logics and the constraints subject to the implementation of each solution. By analyzing the spatial inscription of each solution in South Asia, this study attempts to highlight the influence of the context on UNHCR's coordination activities. It appears that each solution has its own specificities and limitations, the common point being the importance of the degree of cooperation between the different parties involved, and the key role of UNHCR in finding issues ensuring peace and dignity. Sustainable reintegration is at the heart of UNHCR's prospects for action, yet faces significant obstacles that the UN body may find powerless to face

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Social rights for the integration of refugees in Europe. Rights to health, housing, education and work of persons in need of international protection, in Human rights law and Refugee law

    L’intégration des réfugiés requiert l’accès aux soins et au logement, la scolarisation, la formation professionnelle et l’entrée sur le marché du travail. La question est, en somme, celle de la garantie de leurs droits sociaux. Pour y répondre, cette thèse pose les jalons de la protection des droits à la santé, au logement, à l’éducation et au travail de chacune des catégories de personnes ayant besoin d’une protection internationale. Les principales normes des Droits de l’homme et du Droit des réfugiés adoptées dans le cadre des Nations unies, du Conseil de l’Europe et de l’Union européenne sont ainsi, pour la première fois sur ce sujet, confrontées, lues en combinaison et mises en perspective avec les réformes à venir. Il en ressort, en particulier, une cartographie des garanties offertes en fonction des statuts migratoires et situations personnelles, la définition des critères généraux déterminants émergés de la comparaison des systèmes, ou encore des arguments juridiques innovants.The integration of refugees includes providing access to healthcare and housing, schooling, vocational training and entry into the labour market. In short, it is about guaranteeing their social rights. Examining these issues, this thesis paves the way for the protection of rights to health, housing, education and work of every category of person in need of international protection. The main human rights and refugee norms adopted under the respective frameworks of the United Nations, the Council of Europe and the European Union are, for the very first time in this field, challenged, read in conjunction and put in to perspective in light of forthcoming reforms. The results are, in particular, a mapping of the various guarantees available according to one’s migration status and personal circumstances, the definitions of general determinative criteria which emerge from a comparison of respective systems, as well as innovative legal arguments

    Variations on the Author

    “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 link
    We 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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
