Clarifier le concept de volonté politique pour lutter contre la corruption
Get PDFL’ “absence de volonté politique” est souvent incriminée lorsque les programmes de lutte contre la corruption n’apportent pas les résultats escomptés. Cependant, malgré la fréquence avec laquelle on s’en sert pour justifier les mauvais résultats en matière de réformes, la volonté politique reste un concept mal défini et mal compris. En outre, les évaluations sont souvent réalisées à postériori sur des programmes qui ont échoué. En utilisant un modèle de volonté politique qui définit une série d’éléments d’action observables, mesurables, susceptibles de recevoir un soutien externe, il est possible de clarifier les différents degrés de volonté politique
Democratic Governance and Sectoral Policy Reform: Tracing Linkages and Exploring Synergies
No full textUnpacking the concept of political will to confront corruption
Get PDFQuite often, "lack of political will" is identified as the culprit for poorly performing anti-corruption programmes. Yet despite the frequency with which it is used to explain unsatisfactory reform outcomes, political will remains under-defined and poorly understood. Further, assessments are often conducted retrospectively, looking back at failed programmes. By applying a model of political will that specifies a set of action-based components that are observable and measurable, and amenable to external reinforcement and support, more clarity regarding the degree of political will can be achieved
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
