Full text linkSystèmes politiques et dynamiques conflictuelles en Afrique, quel impact pour la mondialisation ? est le titre de l’ouvrage collectif de 262 pages dirigé par Sergiu MISCOIU, Cristian PREDA, Andreea Bianca URS et Domnica GOREVEI. Outre l’introduction, le livre est divisée en cinq grandes parties. Chaque partie livre une série de contributions venant de différents chercheurs. Dès l’introduction, Sergiu Miscoiu marque le lecteur en mettant l’accent sur une reconfiguration évidente de l’ordre politico-économique mondiale; l’affranchissement des nations africaines des puissances occidentales, le rejet du présidentialisme négro-africain et les succès mitigés du nouveau constitutionnalisme des années 1990 sont en effet à mettre à l’actif de l’internationalisation des politiques et donc des dynamiques de mondialisation qui soulèvent à juste titre d’énormes interrogations tant sur le plan économique que politique

STABILITY OR DEMOCRACY? SUCCESSFUL ELECTIONS IN AFRICA / STABILITÉ OU DÉMOCRATIE ? COMMENT RÉUSSIR DES ÉLECTIONS EN AFRIQUE
No full textThe article is based on the direct experience of the author, who was, between 2007-2014, an electoral observer for several elections in different African states. The explanations are based on: the pace of the political transformations, the constitutional changes that acknowledge the possibility of gaining a third presidential mandate, the presence of international observers, the post-electoral violence and the postponing of elections
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
Eclectic, but stable
No full textThe article analyses the impact the electoral system on the Romanian politics of the last 25 years. The main thesis is that, despite the eclecticism of electoral formulas and despite the frequent changes of the laws regulating political parties, stability was the main characteristic of the Romanian politics. The author provides numerous examples of the unpredictable and bizarre effects of the electoral formulas, but also data regarding the performance of the 10 parties that passed the electoral threshold, out of the 204 that enlisted in general elections
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
