    Radical Technological Change and the New «Order» in the World Economy

    No full text
    The author argues that the postwar institutional setting was shaped by US political and economic power and expressed that dominance. From the middle eighties a new international order is evolving which rests on selective liberalism and it is accompanied by protectionism and the creation of a new international institutional structure. The main components of the emerging order are analysed. The implications of controlling major technological changes, and their diffusion in the world economy are discussed. New multilateral institutional arrangements concerning trade in technology, foreign direct investment, intellectual property rights constitute an attempt to intervene in the development process in order to control the emerging new international division of labou

    Die neuen technologischen Umwälzungen werden die Beziehungen zwischen den Industrieländern und die »Nord-Süd«-Konflikte auf eine völlig neue Grundlage stellen und die weltwirtschaftlichen Strukturen nachhaltig revolutionieren. Vaitsos kontrastiert die Deregulierungsanstrengungen in den nationalen Ökonomien der kapitalistischen Metropolen und die dort vorherrschenden ideologischen Liberalisierungsdebatten mit den zunehmenden protektionistischen Tendenzen in der Weltwirtschaft und verweist auf die Notwendigkeit neuer institutioneller Regulierungen auf internationaler Ebene zur Kontrolle der gegenwärtigen technologischen Umstrukturierungen. Die »Neue Ordnung der Weltwirtschaft« wird das internationale Macht- undReichstumsgefälle der Bretton Woods-Ära verändern-die Gewinner und Verlierer stehen jedoch noch nicht fest

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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
