Collaborative Research: Measuring International Nongovernmental Organizations and World Polity Network Embeddedness

帕梅拉·M·帕克斯顿俄亥俄州立大学梅勒妮·M·休斯匹兹堡大学在这项提案中，研究人员将世界政治和社会网络联系起来，为一种新的国家一级与世界政治的连通性的超时衡量标准的发展提供信息，该指标被称为“INGO网络国家得分”。这一衡量标准将根据各国在世界国家--INGO网络中的中心地位对其进行评分。由此发布的数据集将对跨学科的受众有用。在该项目的第二部分，对国际非政府组织--妇女国际非政府组织的一个领域进行了深入分析。研究人员利用国际妇女S运动的理论，提供了关于随着时间的推移，Wingo网络结构预期变化的可验证的理论。更广泛的影响拟议中的项目将对政治社会学和政治学发展最快领域的学术研究人员产生广泛影响。这里生成的数据集将为研究全球进程、国际组织和跨国成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.
