L'objectif de notre propos est de mettre en évidence les potentiels de l'utilisation de la carte mentale en science politique. Souvent utilisée en psychologie et en géographie, les politologues ont toutefois rarement recours à cet outil de collecte de l'information dans leurs recherches. En revenant sur les avantages et les limites de l'usage de cet outil en sciences sociales, et en nous basant sur deux études originales, nous montrerons dans quelle mesure la carte mentale peut permettre d'aborder des questions propres à la science politique sous un angle nouveau.
The number of science publications is growing exponentially, thus increasing the need for understanding the knowledge base of various research streams and their emerging branches. From a social science perspective, the literature on the mining sector – the industrial sector that extracts ores and minerals from the ground – has also witnessed steady growth. However, this literature is rather fragmented in regards to the thematic topics and the geographical focus. To respond to this, this paper offers a systematic literature review of the social science research on the mining sector. The publication database of this review includes a set of 483 systemically selected papers from 976 authors, covering empirical research conducted in 73 countries from 5 continents: Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and America. Our contribution is twofold. Firstly, we provide an analysis of the geography of the research in terms of both authorship and empirical focus. In terms of the geographical coverage of the empirical cases, Australia appears as the most studied country in the field, followed by countries in other regions such as Asia (China, India, Russia and Turkey), Africa (Ghana, South Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo), North America (the USA and Canada), Latin America (Brazil and Chile) and Europe (Poland, Spain and Sweden). However, this dispersion is not reflected in the geographical coverage of the affiliations of the authors. Secondly, we identify the most popular social science research topics on the mining sector. Our results show that the social science research on the mining sector shifted from the traditional research streams (e.g., industrialisation and growth, colonialization, technological and economic development, and the resource curse) to the new streams of research on social, environmental and economical sustainability (e.g., the social license to operate, corporate social responsibility, criticality of the rare earth elements, material flow analysis and environmental impacts). Overall, our study ...
To answer questions about the origins and outcomes of collective action, political scientists increasingly turn to datasets with social network information culled from online sources. However, a fundamental question of external validity remains untested: are the relationships measured between a person and her online peers informative of the kind of offline, "real-world" relationships to which network theories typically speak? This article offers the first direct comparison of the nature and consequences of online and offline social ties, using data collected via a novel network elicitation technique in an experimental setting. We document strong, robust similarity between online and offline relationships. This parity is not driven by sharedidentityof online and offline ties, but a shared nature of relationships in both domains. Our results affirm that online social tie data offer great promise for testing long-standing theories in the social sciences about the role of social networks.
Extrait : ""La conception que se font de l'État, de sa nature et de son rôle, les hommes de notre temps, paraît singulièrement confuse. Les attributions incohérentes, souvent contradictoires, qu'ils lui confient, témoignent du manque de netteté et de précision de leurs idées. Quand elle veut aborder ce thème d'un intérêt si décisif pour les destinées humaines, leur pensée flotte dans les brouillards.""À PROPOS DES ÉDITIONS LIGARANLes éditions LIGARAN proposent des versions numériques de qualité de grands livres de la littérature classique mais également des livres rares en partenariat avec la

History from 1500 to 2001 has been dominated by colonialism and decolonization. No single subject offers deeper insight into the meeting of East and West. This is a thorough examination of the politics, economy, culture and society of both colonizers and colonized

The article considers and analyzes the phenomenon of political management as a reflection of the non-classical type of scientific rationality and the non-classical paradigm of political management. The interdisciplinary nature of political management, the possibilities and limitations of its application in political management in the aspect of transformation of its manipulative essence in the direction of mediation and coordination of interaction of political actors are revealed.
