Jonathan Green on The Year My Politics Broke
No full textIn a world of global information flow and almost organic interconnection, the influence of traditional ‘government’ may be on the wane. For now, this spreads a sense of disconnection. Distrust. A lack of faith. It may soon resolve into a sense of great opportunity … a way, at last, to make politics and government truly responsive to community sentiment and need. For now, the protracted election campaign of 2013 has pushed these issues to the foreground. Jonathan Green, author of The Year My Politics Broke, uses events of the campaign and elsewhere in current Australian politics to examine this time of change we are living through and the ideas nibbling at our traditional political structures. Have we seen the end of ideology? Does truth matter in politics? Do we still have trust in traditional media sources, or do we know better than that now? What do leaders do again

Election 2016 is our chance to demand a better version of politics
No full textWe are now watching the politics we deserve, with all its empty chicanery and arrogant, dismissive guile. A little effort, a little commitment, and we might force it to be something better, writes Jonathan Green
It's time to ask, 'could Trump happen here?'
No full textThe differences between Australia and the United States might appear too great right now, but it\u27s not difficult to see how we could be tumbled out of our comfort zone. We could yet be trumped, writes Jonathan Green
Commercial TV's iceberg moment?

ABC\u27s Jonathan Green says the model that offers international hits at an arrogant delay for local audiences is collapsing. There\u27s a pattern isn\u27t there ... corporate monoliths set in a way of working that was once protected by vast oligopoly-profits and the propelling momentum of tradition, wrong-footed by the sudden lithe fragmentations of the internet.
And for years now we\u27ve watched as newspaper empires have slowly buckled then been bled white under the thousand cuts of online competition they at first scorned, then ignored, then scrambled to match. Fairfax print mastheads? Yours for $201 million apparently; just don\u27t ask about the cash flow. And you\u27d imagine, on the back of the now well-accumulated and ultimately destructive experience of print media, that other players in the broadcast realm would have heeded the warnings and taken that bold but near impossible step: to destroy the village in order to save it.
To turn away from something that remains momentarily lucrative for a moment on the assumption - backed by knowledge and near certainty - that its days if unchanged are numbered; while its days reconstructed are merely uncertain.

A matter of attachment? How adoptive parents foster post-institutionalized children’s social and emotional adjustment
No full textThe current study investigates the contribution of children’s age at adoption (M = 46.52 months, SD = 11.52 months) and parents’ attachment on post-institutionalized children’s attachment and social–emotional adjustment. A total of 132 subjects, 48 post- institutionalized children aged 3–5 years, and their adoptive par- ents, took part in the study. One year from adoption, children’s attachment distribution was as follows: 31% secure, 42% disorga- nized, and 27% insecure. Parents’ secure attachment increased children’s probability of presenting a secure attachment pattern; specifically, mothers’ attachment patterns were most strongly associated with those of their adopted children, with fathers’ making an additional contribution. Two years from adoption, secure children showed more adequate social competences than their insecure and disorganized peers and presented better emo- tional comprehension. The effect of age at adoption was delimited to a marginal association with behavioral problems. This pattern of associations suggests that attachment – both of adoptive parents and of children – substantially fosters social–emotional adjustment of post-institutionalized children who have experienced a period in emotionally neglecting environments beyond their first year of life, regardless of their age at adoption. Implications for policies and practices are discussed

No full textTakes a look back on the past 12 months of Australian and global politics.
Overview
We take a look back on the past 12 months and discover;
There\u27s a booming protest culture in Australia with almost as many people taking to the streets as the Vietnam protests of the sixties.
Compromised security is the price we all pay for convenient technology.
Scepticism is a growing phenomenon across the world especially when it comes to law and order.
And Thomas Picketty\u27s book, Capital in the 21st century will be considered the biggest ideas generator of the year when it comes to discussions about wealth and inequality.

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
