Politica europea di prossimità e Paesi terzi del Mediterraneo: relazioni intergovernative o partenariato sub-statuale?
No full textIl contributo analizza la politica europea di prossimità come possibile risposta alle sfide in materia di rapporti con il nuovo vicinato e l’opportunità di rafforzare le relazioni con i Paesi partner al fine di condividere i benefici dell'allargamento con i Paesi limitrofi, potenziando la stabilità, la sicurezza e il benessere delle popolazioni interessate.
Ilpartenariato, infatti, ha avuto, nella politica della UE verso i Paesi mediterranei, l’ambizione di creare uno “spazio comune”, in qualche misura di “costruire” una regione in una zona dove la conflittualità o quanto meno la separazione ha spesso prevalso sui fattori di integrazione. Tuttavia questo tentativo ha avuto risultati modesti, nonostante le ambizioni iniziali e l’aumento del sostegno finanziario europeo, che è comunque rimasto a livelli assai inferiori a quello degli aiuti diretti verso i Paesi dell’Europa centro-orientale.
Nelle relazioni Nord-Sud (UE-PTM) l’asimmetria tra i partner ha assunto livelli tali da rendere largamente retorico il ricorso alla definizione di “partenariato”: la relativa gestione è in ampia misura consistita nell’adattamento dei Paesi mediterranei a decisioni e obiettivi fissati dai partner europei, causando inevitabilmente una scarsa “ownership” del partenariato da parte dei Paesi mediterranei.
Nelle relazioni Sud-Sud (tra PTM) i tentativi di integrazione economica, e ancor meno quelli di integrazione politica, non hanno sortito risultati di rilievo, così come neanche sullo strumento centrale del partenariato, il libero scambio, si è assistito a rapidi progressi.
Tutto questo ha implicato una configurazione della cooperazione euro-mediterranea secondo una struttura a “geometria variabile”, già in vigore all’interno dell’Unione, basata sulle cosiddette cooperazioni rafforzate per cui diversi gruppi di Stati sarebbero più o meno vicini all’ UE a seconda del loro maggiore o minore interesse per la cooperazione con l’Unione.
Allo stesso tempo si accentua la dimensione bilaterale della cooperazione euro-mediterranea a scapito dell’approccio regionale proprio del processo di Barcellona e per ottenere significativi miglioramenti in termini di benessere, serve andare oltre il semplice libero scambio per realizzare una deepintegration, ossia un’integrazione approfondita che prospetta temi come l’avvicinamento normativo (adeguamento legislativo, procedurale, regolamentare), la cooperazione amministrativa, ecc
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
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

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
