Foreign policy adaptation : aspects of British and Dutch foreign policies,1945-1963
No full textThis thesis examines the utility of Rosenau's 'Adaptive Behaviour' approach for the comparative analysis of foreign policy in the light of that author's recent claim that that subject had become a 'normal science'. This examination is carried out by comparing the forms of foreign policy behaviour predicted by the approach with the actual behaviour of Britain and The Netherlands from 1945-63. Following a survey of the main models of, and approaches to, macro-foreign policy behaviour, the 'Adaptive Behaviour' approach is outlined in some detail and predictions are obtained as to the form of foreign policy behaviour undertaken by Britain and The Netherlands. The empirical section of the study consists firstly of a historical outline of the major features of the two states' foreign policies until the Second World War. Then, for the purpose of providing an overall examination of the approach, the two foreign policies are examined in three issue-areas: an area in which the two states were involved in bilateral interaction, the Netherlands East Indies 1945-50; an area in which the two foreign policies were essentially in parallel, the subject of Western security 1945-63; and an area in which the two foreign policies pursued different paths, European integration 1945-63. In the concluding chapter these empirical case-studies are utilized to yield policy stances in terms of the 'Adaptive Behaviour' approach. These empirically derived stances are then compared with those predicted by the theory: the resulting disparity between the empirically derived and the theoretically derived predictions is utilized to form the basis of a three-fold critique of the approach in terms of its predictive power; in terms of problems of the approach uncovered in the process of operationalization; and in terms of internal theoretical problems. The degree to which the findings of the study are weakened by the methods of testing is then examined. Finally, possible modifications to the approach are examined; however, the study concludes that the claim made by Rosenau in 1976, that the subject-area of foreign policy analysis was a 'normal science', remains, on the evidence of this study, far from being realized.</p
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
