Pamela M.帕克斯顿俄亥俄州立大学SES-0962034梅勒妮M.在这项提案中，研究人员将世界政治和社交网络联系起来，以告知国家一级与世界政治联系的新的长期衡量标准的发展，标记为“国际非政府组织网络国家得分”。“这项措施将根据各国在世界国家-国际非政府组织网络中的中心地位对各国进行评分。由此产生的已发布数据集将对跨学科受众有用。在该项目的第二部分，对非政府组织-妇女国际非政府组织的一个领域进行了深入分析。调查人员利用国际妇女的理论？的运动，以提供可测试的理论，预期的变化，在WINGO网络结构随着时间的推移。更广泛的影响拟议的项目将产生广泛的影响，学术研究人员在政治社会学和政治科学的增长最快的领域。这里生成的数据集将为研究全球进程、国际组织和跨国结果的研究人员提供大量资源。

SES-0961995Pamela M. PaxtonOhio State UniversitySES-0962034Melanie M. HughesUniversity of PittsburghIn this proposal, the investigators link world polity and social networks to inform the development of a new over-time measure of country-level connectedness to the world polity, labeled the "INGO Network Country Score." This measure will score countries by their centrality in the world country-INGO network. The resulting published dataset will be useful to a cross-disciplinary audience. In a second part of the project, an in-depth analysis is carried out on one domain of INGOs-Women's International Nongovernmental Organizations, or WINGOs. The investigators draw upon theories of the international women?s movement to provide testable theories about expected changes in the WINGO network structure over time. Broader ImpactsThe proposed project will have broad impact for academic researchers in the fastest growing areas of political sociology and political science. The dataset generated here will provide a substantial resource for researchers who study global processes, international organizations, and cross-national outcomes.
