Eski krallığın yeni yüzü: Suudi Arabistan'ın dış politika değişimi
No full textThis thesis examines Saudi Arabia's foreign policy transformation through the lens of strategic hedging, focusing on the Kingdom's response to the United States' partial withdrawal. Anchored in neorealism, the analysis contends that Saudi Arabia's foreign policy shift reflects broader structural changes in the international system, as the Kingdom seeks to balance its longstanding ties with the U.S. while engaging rising powers such as China. Though not a global power, Saudi Arabia is conceptualized as a secondary state—regionally influential yet systemically constrained—making it a typical case for hedging behavior in times of global uncertainty. Vision 2030, introduced in 2016, plays a central role in this shift by promoting economic diversification, reducing oil dependency, and enhancing geopolitical autonomy. Using a qualitative methodology, the thesis employs textual analysis of official statements, policy documents, and scholarly sources to explore the intersection between internal reform and external realignment. A key focus is Saudi Arabia's growing partnership with China, especially through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the Digital Silk Road (DSR), which align with Vision 2030's objectives in infrastructure, technology, and renewable energy. These initiatives illustrate how Chinese cooperation enhances Saudi Arabia's economic capacity while reducing reliance on U.S. support. The thesis also investigates Saudi Arabia's rapprochement with Iran, closer ties with Russia, and increased involvement in BRICS as calculated hedging strategies. These developments are interpreted not as ad hoc reactions, but as part of a coherent effort to reposition the Kingdom within an emerging multipolar world order. The findings demonstrate that Saudi Arabia's hedging behavior is both adaptive and strategic, aimed at consolidating regional influence and ensuring long-term resilience. This research contributes to the literature on strategic hedging and secondary state behavior by analyzing how states navigate hegemonic decline and multipolarity.Bu tez, Suudi Arabistan'ın dış politikasındaki değişimi stratejik dengeleme teorisi çerçevesinde incelemekte ve Riyad'ın ABD'nin kısmi terk edişine nasıl uyum sağladığını ele almaktadır. Neo realizm temelinde şekillenen çalışma, Suudi Arabistan'ın stratejik değişiminin uluslararası düzende meydana gelen daha geniş yapısal değişimlerin bir yansıması olduğunu savunmaktadır. Suudi Arabistan'ın ABD ile Çin gibi yükselen güçler arasında denge kurmaya çalıştığı ve herhangi bir tarafa tam olarak bağlanmadan stratejik manevra yaptığı ileri sürülmektedir. 2016'da duyurulan Vizyon 2030, bu yeniden yapılanmanın temelini oluşturmakta; ekonomik çeşitliliği teşvik etmekte, petrole bağımlılığı azaltmakta ve jeopolitik bağımsızlığı güçlendirmektedir. Tez, resmi belgeler, politika analizleri ve akademik kaynakların metin analizine dayalı nitel bir metodoloji kullanarak, Suudi Arabistan'ın 2030 Vizyonu kapsamındaki iç reformların dış politika stratejisiyle nasıl örtüştüğünü incelemektedir. Önemli bir odak noktası, Suudi Arabistan'ın Kuşak ve Yol Girişimi kapsamındaki Dijital İpek Yolu aracılığıyla Çin ile artan ortaklığıdır. Bu ortaklık, teknoloji, altyapı ve yenilenebilir enerji gibi alanlarda 2030 Vizyonu'nun hedefleriyle uyum sağlamaktadır. Tez, Suudi Arabistan'ın Çin yatırımlarını ve teknolojik uzmanlığını kullanarak ekonomik ve politik konumunu nasıl güçlendirdiğini, ABD'ye bağımlılığı nasıl azalttığını ve çok kutuplu bir dünyada kendini nasıl konumlandırdığını ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca, Suudi Arabistan'ın İran ile normalleşmesi, BRICS'e katılımı ve Rusya ile derinleşen ilişkileri, küresel düzende meydana gelen karmaşık değişimlere uyum sağlamak için izlenen hesaplı dengeleme stratejileri olarak ele alınmaktadır. Bulgular, Suudi Arabistan'ın dengeleme stratejisinin sadece tepkisel değil, aynı zamanda jeopolitik etki ve uzun vadeli ekonomik ve politik istikrar sağlama çabası olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, hegemonik gücün azalmasına ikincil devletlerin nasıl uyum sağladığını ve ortaya çıkan çok kutuplulukla nasıl başa çıktığını ortaya koyarak stratejik dengeleme literatürüne katkıda bulunmaktadır
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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
