Informal Networks in Former Yugoslavia Edge Lists
No full textThis dataset is made up of excel sheets which contain edge lists for eleven social network maps. Each edge list was exported from GEPHI. When uploaded to GEPHI or another SNA software they will produce maps of ties within the parliaments of Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia. Specifically, they will produce network maps for the Slovenian parliament in 1992-6, 1996-2000, and 2000-4; Croatia in 2000-3, 2003-8, 2008-11, and 2011-13; and Serbia in 2008-12, 2012-14, 2014-16, and 2016-20

This data set contains an NVivo 11 coding file for 161 documents covering the EU's FLEGT Action Plan and Voluntary Partnership Agreement negotiations with partner countries. It was coded as part of an SRSF grant funded research project and focuses on the applicability of the Market Power Europe framework to the FLEGT Action Plan
FLEGT Agreement Document Coding
No full textThis data set contains an NVivo 11 coding file for 164 documents covering the EU's FLEGT Action Plan and Voluntary Partnership Agreement negotiations with partner countries. It was coded as part of an SRSF grant funded research project and focuses on the applicability of the Market Power Europe framework to the FLEGT Action Plan. The data set contains the NVivo 11 coding file (Windows and Mac versions) and, contained within the .zip file, the 164 documents, in either PDF or Word format. These documents cover the following country cases: Cameroon (7), Central African Republic (8), Côte d'Ivoire (1), Democratic Republic of the Congo (1), Gabon (4), Ghana (17), Guyana (6), Honduras (9), Indonesia (21), Laos (36), Liberia (8), Republic of the Congo (21), Thailand (19), and Vietnam (5)
Slovenian, Croatian, and Serbian Parliamentary Network Values (EU Accession)
No full textThis data set is made up of three smaller data sets each containing a list of Members of Parliament (MPs) in the Slovenian, Croatian, and Serbian parliaments during their respective EU accession processes. The data includes both the names of the MPs and their various roles in parliament, their party affiliations, and their membership in various parliamentary bodies. This data was collected for the PhD Thesis "It's Not What You Know: Europeanization and Informal Networks in Former Yugoslavia" to act as the base data set for the construction of social networks maps.The three links are to the Croatian, Slovenian, and Serbian parliamentary websites from which the data was gathered before being collated into this form

Europeanization and informal networks in Southeastern Europe
No full textPublished online: 08 November 2024(c) 2025Europeanization and Informal Networks in Southeastern Europe considers the impact of political culture, including informal rules which regulate political behaviour, on formal political processes. Exploring the EU accession processes of Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia, the author identifies how the working and social culture of political elites enabled and/or constrained the ability of the respective legislatures to pass the reforms necessary to become members of the EU. The innovative approach quantifies informality at the elite level, taking a rigorous, multi-methods approach to identifying the sometimes-subtle impact of informal cultures on formal political processes. In doing so, it demonstrates the added value from studying informality by providing a richer understanding of the factors which help motivate and drive political action, and which may be invisible to an outside observer. By examining features such as the connectedness of individuals and key committees, Mesarovich finds that hierarchical network structures can both accelerate and interfere with reform processes under different conditions. This book advances the field of Europeanization both within the framework of accession and more broadly, by highlighting network-level and individual factors which can deeply impact state-wide political outcomes, and will be of primary interest to an academic audience interested in the region, EU studies, Social Network Analysis, and regional politics.-- 1 Introduction -- 2 Theories of Collapse and Accession -- 3 Demystifying the Web -- 4 Europeanization and Informal Networks in Slovenia -- 5 Europeanization and Informal Networks in Croatia -- 6 Europeanization and Informal Networks in Serbia -- 7 Arrested Transformation? -- 8 Concluding Meditations on Informalit
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
