Full text link[The shadow of the Swedish right]Bo Rothstein’s commentary on the results of the Swedish parliamentary election in 2022 was originally published as “The shadow of the Swedish right” in Journal of Democracy, volume 34, no. 1 in January 2023 (https://doi.org/10.1353/jod.2023.0002), but it still has bearing on how we can understand the political situation now, two years into the current parliamentary term.Citation: Rothstein, Bo (2024) “Skuggan från den svenska högern”, in Arkiv.

Antikorruption – big bang-ansatsen
Full text link[Anti-corruption – the big bang approach]Anti-corruption measures have received increased global attention in policies for economic development. In this article Bo Rothstein criticizes the predominant anti-corruption policies based on “good governance” and geared towards incremental change. Using game theory and institutional theories on the conditions for collective action, Rothstein shows how this policy approach underestimates the institutional obstacles for such an incremental process in countries with rampant corruption. The prescribed measures can instead worsen the problem when promised changes fail to appear. To end systemic corruption, what is needed is a radical change in the basic social exchange of a society – a big-bang approach. Rothstein emphasizes the indirect positive effects that can be achieved by a general platform to implement universalism and impartiality throughout a state's public administration, and gives the example of how Sweden mastered widespread corruption during the 19th century.Publication history: Published original.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.13068/2000-6217.1.1Åtgärder mot korruption har hamnat allt högre på den internationella dagordningen för ekonomisk utveckling. I den här artikeln kritiserar Bo Rothstein den dominerande antikorruptionspolitiken som utifrån idéer om ”god samhällsstyrning” försöker inleda inkrementella förändringsprocesser. Med hjälp av spelteori och institutionella teorier om villkoren för kollektiv handling visar han hur denna politik underskattar de institutionella hindren för en sådan enkel inkrementell förändring i genomkorrumperade samhällen. Föreskrivna punktinsatser kan i stället få motsatt effekt när de utlovade förändringarna uteblir. Vad som krävs för att verkligen få bukt med systemisk korruption är inget mindre än en big bang-ansats, en genomgripande förändring av de grundläggande handlingsmönstren i ett samhälle. Genom att titta närmare på hur Sverige kom till rätta med en grasserande korruption under 1800-talet framhåller Rothstein de indirekta positiva effekter som uppnåddes med ett allmänt program för att implementera universalism och opartiskhet i alla led i statsförvaltningen.Publiceringshistorik: Originalpublicering.

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
