Intellectual Structure of the Belt and Road Initiative Research: A Scientometric Analysis and Suggestions for a Future Research Agenda
2020
China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has attracted increasing attention worldwide since its inception in 2013. Although the research is fast increasing in terms of publications, there is a lack of knowledge about the intellectual structure, research trends, and appropriate theories underpinning. Using bibliometric data from 1583 articles from 2013 to 2019 in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, we used bibliometric techniques and scientometric analyses to identify and analyze the intellectual structure, hotspots, and emerging trends in this field. We identified 18 clusters that we categorized into three groups for thematic discussion. Research gaps and future research directions were …
A Non-world : Chinese Perceptions of the Western International Order
2019
As the West struggles, China, economically and politically stable, has increased its criticism toward the Western-led international order. According to Chinese arguments, the ongoing decade has demonstrated that the Western liberal international order is no more capable of solving the troubles of the globalizing world. It is as if the Western political imagination has run out of steam and it is now the responsibility of China to take the lead in stabilizing the world. On the side of the official statements, Chinese theorists of world politics are envisioning a new alternative world order, which would be based on a historical, sinocentric system that was in place in East Asia for thousands o…

An Optimized Design of Choice Experiments: A New Approach for Studying Decision Behavior in Choice Task Experiments
2014
In this paper, we present a new approach for the optimal experimental design problem of generating diagnostic choice tasks, where the respondent's decision strategy can be unambiguously deduced from the observed choice. In this new approach, we applied a genetic algorithm that creates a one-to-one correspondence between a set of predefined decision strategies and the alternatives of the choice task; it also manipulates the characteristics of the choice tasks. In addition, this new approach takes into account the measurement errors that can occur when the preferences of the decision makers are being measured. The proposed genetic algorithm is capable of generating diagnostic choice tasks eve…
“Team Based Learning” in Political Science studies
2019
En los estudios de Ciencia Política ha predominado tradicionalmente la metodología basada en la clase magistral y el trabajo individual. Sin embargo, la implantación del sistema de Bolonia implica un trabajo más autónomo de los estudiantes y el desarrollo de nuevas habilidades como el trabajo en grupo. Desde esta perspectiva, se ha aplicado una nueva metodología denominada Aprendizaje Basado en Grupos (TBL de sus siglas en inglés) a un grupo de 100 alumnos de Ciencia Política y se la ha comparado con otros tres métodos también utilizados por los mismos estudiantes en otras asignaturas del grado (práctica semanal, trabajo semestral y Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas). El objetivo del trabajo …
Transparency in two municipalities of great population of the Valencian Community: between mimetic isomorphism and the generation of legitimity
2020
Este trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo fundamental la realización de un análisis sobre los elementos que han justificado la calidad de los procesos de asunción de la transparencia en los ayuntamientos de Alicante y València (2008-2017). En concreto, se partirá del neo-institucionalismo sociológico y de los índices de Transparencia Internacional para caracterizar esta herramienta de buen gobierno y la importancia relativa en ambos ayuntamientos. Entre algunos de los resultados preliminares que hemos obtenido, podemos destacar tanto el papel isomórfico de la legislación como la necesidad de mejorar la reputación de las instituciones estudiadas para implementar dichas políticas. The…

CITES, wild plants, and opportunities for crime
2017
The illegal trade in endangered plants damages both the environment and localcommunities by threatening and destroying numerous species and important natural resources. There is very little research which systematically addresses this issue by identifying specific opportunities for crime. This article presents the results of an interdisciplinary study which brings together criminological and conservation science expertise to identify criminal opportunities in the illegal wild plant trade and suggest strategies in order to prevent and mitigate the problem. Methodologically, the study adapts a crime proofing of legislation approach to the UN Convention on the International Trade in Endangered…
Violences scolaires et culture (s)
2005
La question de la violence scolaire est d'abord une question politique. L'École est un lieu politique parce que s'y jouent des jeux et enjeux de pouvoir dont la violence scolaire est la forme émergente. L'École de la République est aujourd'hui confrontée à des demandes croissantes de pluralité culturelles et cultuelles. Comment est-il possible de comprendre les formes de violence et de déviances scolaires ? Voici les résultats d'un colloque organisé dans et par un lycée.
Rethinking Civil Society in Development: Scales and Situated Hegemonies
2016
Ethnic residential segregation is often explained with the claim that ‘immigrants don’t want to integrate—they prefer to stick together with co-ethnics’. By contrast, mixed neighbourhoods are seen as crucial for achieving social cohesion. In line with spatial assimilation theory there is a normative assumption that people interact with those living nearby. From interviews on neighbourhood qualities and locations valued by Oslo residents of Turkish, Somali and Polish backgrounds, we raise questions about the validity of two assumptions: that most immigrants want to live in the same neighbourhoods as co-ethnics; and that they want to live close to co-ethnics because they do not want to integr…
