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

在这项提案中，研究者将世界政治和社会网络联系起来，为国家层面与世界政治联系的一种新的长期衡量方法的发展提供信息，这种方法被称为“INGO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。结果发布的数据集将对跨学科的受众有用。在项目的第二部分，对非政府组织的一个领域- -国际妇女非政府组织进行了深入分析。调查人员借鉴了国际女性的理论。为WINGO网络结构随时间的预期变化提供可测试理论的运动。更广泛的影响拟议的项目将对政治社会学和政治学发展最快的领域的学术研究人员产生广泛的影响。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.
