    碩士第二次波灣戰爭在未經聯合國安理會授權下,於2003年3月20日美國飛彈攻擊巴格達,揭開戰爭序幕,美國避開聯合國的框架,尋求戰爭的方式解決伊拉克問題。約瑟夫.奈伊於2004年的著書《軟權力》中提到美國在伊拉克戰爭中展示了軍事實力,推翻了海珊政權,但並未能解除恐佈主義對美國的威脅,而且在軟權力上付出極高的代價,損及美國的國際聲望。 《尉繚子》為古代獻君之策,為古代王侯尋求稱王之良策,與美國在波灣戰爭期間前助理國防部長約瑟夫.奈伊於2004年著書大力提倡「軟權力」,以挽救美國之國際影響力所追求之目標有許多相似之處。 《尉繚子》中廣為討論的戰略思想是篇中的「道勝、威勝、力勝」,但研究《尉繚子》後發現「刑、德」的「人事」、「靜勝、專勝」、「千人而成權、萬人而成武」、「王者伐暴亂,本仁義焉」等,是值得被探討的戰略思想,並以第二次波斯灣戰爭軟、硬權力的運用為背景,逐步解析。 以《尉繚子》的重要戰略思想,解析第二次波斯灣戰爭期間美國軟、硬權力的運用,不可諱言美國確實擁有無人出其右的硬權力,與豐沛的軟權力資源,但是否善用,是解析的重點。 在研究過程中發現「智在人為」是《尉繚子》的核心思想,人的作為以「智」為依歸,「智」是成功的關鍵。孫子在選定將才時,以「智」為首要考量,因為戰略的本質就是鬥智,孫子的「智」是「將才之智」。兩者雖然都推崇「智」,但《尉繚子》所提的「智」,不僅僅是將才單一的智,而是戰略決策的「智」。《尉繚子》的戰略思想中,不斷強調決策的重要性。「道勝」、「專勝」、「成權」是戰略決策成功的運用,所仰賴的是「人事」,亦即在中所提:「聖人所貴,人事而以」。而「人事」在《尉繚子》的觀點而言是以「先神先鬼,先稽我智」為首要考量。 布希政府運用的政策,在約瑟夫.奈伊的觀點而言,過度使用了硬權力。約瑟夫.奈伊所期待的是美國影響力在世界扮演舉足輕重的地位,不要因硬權力的濫用,而式微了美國影響力。因此,提出「軟權力」給當政者不同面向的思考。但不代表硬權力不重要,因為許多政策的後盾仍然需要硬權力支撐。因此,約瑟夫.奈伊在《軟權力》中提及美國若能在外交政策上,平衡的使用軟、硬權力,這將成為聰明權力的運用,再度締造美國的成功。這樣的主張與本文研究發現,「聰明權力」與《尉繚子》的「智在人為」有異曲同工之處。軟、硬權力的運用是人為的結果,而如何平衡運用軟、硬權力,決定因素便是「智」的「聰明權力」。Shirking the limits of the United Nations, America sought the war way to solve the Iraqi problem. Without being authorized by the United Nations Security, America guided missile attacked Baghdad on March 20 2003, opening the war prelude. From the book, Soft Power, written by Joseph S. Nye Jr. mentions that America couldn’t remove the threat of terrorism, paid the extremely high cost on soft power, and decreased her international reputation. Despite America had showed military strength and overthrow Saddam’s regime during the Iraqi war. There are lots of similarities between Yu Liao Tzu and Soft Power. Yu Liao Tzu, was the best book offering methods for those ancient ministers seeking to become an emperor. Like what Joseph S. Nye Jr., the former deputy Minister of Defense, recommending “soft power” for the goal to save the American international influences. In Yu Liao Tzu Art of War Chapter 4, it discusses widely, “in warfare, there are those who gain victory through the way; those that gain victory through awesomeness, and those that gain victory through strength.” Using the background of how hard power and soft power that was adapted during the second Persian Gulf War. There are still many thoughts that are worth to analyze step by step. With the important strategic thought of Yu Liao Tzu. The main point is to analyze how America well use hard power and soft power during the second the Gulf War. In the period of my research, I find that the core of Yu Liao Tzu talks about “all actions depend on people’s intelligence.” It means that what people decide to act all relies on intelligence. “People’s intelligence” is the keyword. Sun Tzu also chose a conductor by “intelligence” because all warfare need is to compare who is more intelligent. Although both of Yu Liao Tzu and Sun Tzu enthrone “intelligence”, there is still a little difference between their thought. When Sun Tzu focuses the single person’s intelligence, Yu Liao Tzu pays more attention on how to make strategies with “intelligence.” Yu Liao Tzu emphasis the importance of making strategies over and over in his thought. Yu Liao Tzu insists that victories in war are achieved by human effort, through one''s action, but not by astrology, auspicious timing and many other superstitious things. With the view of Joseph S. Nye Jr., policy which Bush government makes has used “hard power” excessively. Originally, Joseph S. Nye Jr. expects that America can well use its influence to play an important role in the world. Hence, he proposed “soft power” to give a different thinking way for those who come into power. By Joseph S. Nye Jr. theory” if government can use soft power and hard power equally when it comes to diplomatic policy, America will become successful again. ”And this situation is what Joseph S. Nye Jr. calls “smart power”. In this study, we can find that “smart power” has the same essence like Yu Liao Tzu’s core “all actions depend on people’s intelligence.”目次 緒論……………………………………………………………………1 第一章 《尉繚子》的戰略思想 第一節 「刑、德」與「人事」…………………………………6 第二節 「道勝、威勝、力勝」的三勝觀………………………9 第三節 「靜勝、專勝」…………………………………………12 第四節 「千人而成權,萬人而成武」…………………………15 第五節 「王者伐暴亂,本仁義焉」……………………………18 第二章 美國的軟、硬權力 第一節 軟、硬權力之概念分析…………………………………21 第二節 美國硬權力之影…………………………………………27 第三節 美國軟權力之影響………………………………………38 第三章 第二次波灣戰爭美國軟、硬權力之運用 第一節 戰爭前的外交……………………………………………47 第二節 戰爭的進行………………………………………………55 第三節 戰後美國之國際、國內政治……………………………62 第四章 以《尉繚子》解析波灣戰爭之軟、硬權力 第一節 以「刑、德」探討軟、硬權力的「人事」影響………71 第二節 「三勝觀」看軟、硬權力之運用………………………77 第三節 「靜勝、專勝」解析軟、硬權力………………………84 第四節 「成權、成武」解析軟、硬權力………………………90 第五節 「王者伐暴亂,本仁義焉」與軟、硬權力價值探討…96 結論…………………………………………………………………..101 參考文獻…………………………………………………………….106 圖表次 圖1-1 研究架構圖………………………………………………3 圖2-1 三勝演變圖………………………………………………10 圖2-2 專勝、靜勝圖……………………………………………14 圖2-3 不戰而服的演變圖..…………………………………….17 圖4-1 1991年至2005年中亞五國GDP增長率曲線圖…….49 表4-1 美國的軍費開支相關數據……………………………...56 表4-2 世界恐怖活動狀況(2000年-2005年)…………….62 表5-1 2006年11月16日美國之民意調查………………….74 表5-2 美國的中東政策支持度…………………………………74學號: 794260355, 學年度: 9

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We 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

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
