The Impact of EU Membership on the Economic Governance of Spain
Full text linkSpain was not admitted to the then European Economic Community during the Francos regime for political reasons. Joining the EU on January 1986 was the last and final step forward towards the definitive consolidation of democracy in Spain and the consolidation of the opening of the Spanish Economy. The results over the first twenty five years of membership have translated into an unprecedented boost of modernization and progress. Spain adopted the Acquis Communautaire and received considerable benefits from EU membership, eliminating barriers, following the common policies , re ceiving European funds and adopting the European common currency . From an index of 60 per cent of the European income average in 1986, todays income even after the crisis that started in 2008- is in the range of 105 per cent. The last three years have been different and difficult due to the severe economic and financial crisis. In this context, this paper analyses how the successive Spanish governments organized the economic governance to adapt to the quantitative and qualitative changes registered in the European Integration.european union- spain relations, european integration, national government expenditure and debt, euro-crisis, european economic and monetary union
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
"Of Spitzenkandidaten and European Leaders" : is the new 2014 "politicized" Presidency of the Commission going to be a real step forward in the EU legitimization process?
Full text linkTFM del Màster Universitari en Integració Europea publicat en forma d'article a la revista Quaderns de recerca, de l'Institut Universitari d'Estudis Europeus (Bellaterra), núm. 30Thanks to ART.17.7 of the Lisbon Treaty, the European Council now has to "take into account" the results of EP Elections when selecting a candidate for the role of Commission President. The European Parliament has grabbed the opportunity to launch the first electoral race for spitzenkandidaten to the Presidency. Is this the start of a new democratizing (and thus, politicizing) process for the European Union? This dissertation will try to give a possible answer to the dilemma by constructing a comprehensive framework around EP Elections 2014 that will involve both the Commission and the Parliament and an analysis of the debate beyond legal provisions and the possibility of a politicized presidency of the Commission.Gràcies al ART. 17.7 del Tractat de Lisboa, a partir d'ara el Consell Europeu ha de "tenir en compte" els resultats de les Eleccions Europees al Parlament Europeu a l'hora d'escollir un candidat per al rol de President de la Comissió Europea. El Parlament Europeu ha aprofitat aquesta oportunitat per llançar la primera campanya electoral dels "spitzenkandidaten" per la Presidència. Serà això el començament d'un nou procés democratitzador (i també polititzar) per part de la Unió Europea? Aquest treball de recerca intentarà trobar una resposta concreta per aquest dilema, gràcies a la construcció d'un marc comprensiu sobre les eleccions europees 2014. Aquest nou enfocament involucrarà tant el rol de la Comissió, com el del Parlament. Una anàlisi del debat més enllà dels termes legals del Tractat i la nova possibilitat d'una presidència polititzada de la Comissi
La Política exterior, de seguridad y defensa de la Unión Europea
Full text linkConté: treball de recerca i pòsterLa Unión Europea (UE) ha sido reconocida como un actor mundial a nivel económico pero no en el terreno político y militar. Desde el nacimiento de la UE la prioridad máxima fue la integración económica y comercial, dejando en segundo plano la política exterior. Teniendo en cuenta que la política exterior, de seguridad y defensa aún están en un proceso de adaptación, el futuro de éstas es bastante desconcertante. El papel de la UE como actor económico, político y militar en el sistema internacional, no será posible hasta que se resuelvan las cuestiones pendientes en política exterior, seguridad y defensa.La Unió Europea (UE) ha estat reconeguda com un actor mundial a nivell econòmic però no en el terreny polític i militar.

Tenint en compte que la política exterior, de seguretat i defensa encara estan en un procés d'adaptació, el futur d'aquestes és bastant desconcertant.

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
