Scott Mainwaring a teorie stranických systémů ve třetí vlně demokratizace (Několik podnětů pro diskusi)
No full textAmerický politolog Scott Mainwaring (University of Notre Dame) patří k těm badatelům, kteří se v devadesátých letech XX. století pokusili odpovědět na nové výzvy spjaté se znatelným rozšířením a proměnou horizontu výzkumu pluralitních soustav politických stran. Mainwaringova snaha o revizi a inovaci doposud převažujících teoreticko-metodologických východisek a modelů výzkumu stranicko-politických systémů byla jasně patrná například v jeho příspěvcích ve sbornících Building Democratic Institutions. Party Systems in Latin America (Stanford University Press, Stanford 1995, red. Scott Mainwaring, Timothy R. Scully) a Presidentialism and Democracy in Latin America, Cambridge, New York 1997, red. Scott Mainwaring a Matthew Soberg Shugart), nemluvě o sérii dílčích studiích věnovaných především rozboru brazilského politického uspořádání a otázkám brazilského přechodu k demokracii. Ačkoli Mainwaring soustřeďoval své badatelské úsilí na latinskoamerickou problematiku, ve druhé polovině devadesátých let bylo patrné, že se stupňuje jeho úsilí o překonání “latinskoamerické perspektivy”. V této souvislosti se Mainwaring snažil propagovat východiska, navrhovat postupy a formulovat závěry aplikovatelné v širším rámci deskripce a explanace vývoje stranicko-politických uspořádání různorodého okruhu zemí, historicky příslušejících k tzv. třetí vlně demokratizace. Jasným dokladem této tendence byla Mainwaringova studie Party Systems in the Third Wave (Journal of Democracy, IX, n. 3, July 1998, s. 67-81) a také jeho prozatím poslední rozsáhlá kniha - jíž lze považovat za Mainwaringovo magnum opus - s názvem Rethinking Party Systems in the Third Wave of Democratization.

The Case for Multiparty Presidentialism in the United States
Get PDFFor many Americans, anything besides our two-party electoral system is hard to imagine. Multiple parties and proportional representation, the main alternative, might seem more fitting for a parliamentary system than our presidential one. But the truth is, how a country elects its legislature and how it selects its executive are two separate decisions. Multiparty presidentialism—the system the United States would have if it adopted proportional representation—is common around the world.In a sweeping new review of electoral system combinations published by New America and Protect Democracy, Scott Mainwaring, a leading scholar of presidential systems, and Lee Drutman, a prominent expert on proportional representation, conclude that multiparty presidentialism is the best fit for the United States. In particular, they find that it would:Functionally eliminate gerrymandering, increasing the competitiveness of elections and decreasing electoral incentives to entertain extremism to defeat primary challengers;Allow for parties and governing institutions to more flexibly respond to ongoing challenges; andAttenuate hyperpartisan polarization by empowering compromise-oriented officials.Democracy in the United States is an outlier in many ways—most democracies around the world use some form of proportional representation, and rarely is presidential democracy paired with a two-party system. This unique combination is exacerbating factionalism and political brinkmanship, pushing our democracy beyond inefficiency and towards autocracy.

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
