China and India in the age of globalization
No full textThe rise of China and India is the story of our times. The unprecedented expansion of their economic and power capabilities raises profound questions for scholars and policymakers. What forces propelled these two Asian giants into global pacesetters, and what does their emergence mean for the United States and the world? With intimate detail, Shalendra D. Sharma\u27s China and India in the Age of Globalization explores how the interplay of socio-historical, political, and economic forces has transformed these once poor agrarian societies into economic powerhouses. Yet, globalization is hardly a seamless process, as the vagaries and uncertainties of globalization also present risks and challenges. This book examines the challenges both countries face and what each must do to strike the balance between reaping the opportunities and mitigating the risks. For the United States, assisting a rising China to become a responsible global stakeholder and fostering peace and stability in the volatile subcontinent will be paramount in the coming years.https://repository.usfca.edu/read_books/1008/thumbnail.jp
La Chine, créancier du monde et les États-Unis, débiteurs du monde. Conséquences sur les relations sino-américaines
No full textLa Chine est aujourd’hui le premier créancier au monde, les États-Unis sont les premiers débiteurs. Pékin est le principal détenteur étranger de la dette gouvernementale américaine. Supplantant le Japon en 2008, la Chine est devenue le premier créancier étranger du gouvernement américain. Certains affirment que cette situation donne à Pékin un pouvoir sans précédent sur les États-Unis ; d’autres considèrent que le pouvoir de la Chine est en fait très restreint. Cet article montre que les caractéristiques actuelles de l’interdépendance économique entre les deux pays les poussent inévitablement à la coopération, mais que la Chine est préoccupée par l’évolution de l’économie américaine. Elle a déjà commencé à desserrer les liens de l’interdépendance, influençant fortement les relations entre la Chine et les États-Unis, et l’économie globale.D. Sharma Shalendra.

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
The Post-COVID-19 World : Autocracies, Democracies and the New World Order
No full textIn this webinar, Professor Shalendra Sharma will discuss two interrelated questions which are currently the subject of extensive debate among Political Scientists. First, the relative merits of democratic, illiberal and authoritarian rule – specifically, which system has more effectively responded to COVID-19, and more broadly, which political system is better equipped to address deadly threats to collective human security such as the coronavirus pandemic? Second, what does the future hold for the post-war liberal international economic and political order in the emerging post-COVID world? The order’s key architect and defender is the world’s most powerful liberal democracy, the United States. The central challenger is the world’s most powerful autocracy, the People’s Republic of China – which not only sees liberal ideals as an existential threat to its legitimacy, but also claims that “China model” represents a viable alternative to the west.
Drawing on the available evidence, including specific reference to the United States, China and other countries, Professor Sharma will both critically assess the ongoing debates and present his own views on these issues as well as the implications it carries for the emerging World Order. He will also suggest areas of potential future research.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
