Hello,
my name is Martina Skok. I'm sociologist, I'm 27 and am a Ph.D. student
at the Faculty of Social Science of the University in Ljubljana,
Slovenia.
The purpose of my introduction/intervention in this mail-base is to find
as many as possible ideas and references for my Ph.D. thesis. The topic
of my research is "dynamic of the connections across the iron curtain,
waves and spill-overs". I plan to study the dynamics through waves of
migrations, trade, political gestures and maybe some other waves. What I
specially lack is the famework for the analyses (and if possible
measurement) of the spill-overs or forward-linkages among different
fields of action (for example: between economy and politics or vice
versa, etc.). I do have some basic ideas and definitions from the
(early) works of Karl W. Deutsch (1954, 1988), E. B. Haas (1958, 1964),
Charles Pentland (1973), William Wallace (1990), but I do not know
anythig recent or more similar to my idea.
So, please, if any of you "out in the global sociological mind" know any
(recent) works or concepts, or maybe even the e-mail addresses of the
respective authors I have mentioned, I would be glad to receive your
message. By the way, at the time I live in Ottawa, Canada, and if any of
you know any points of reference located in Canada, you will get "gold
medal".
Greetings to all of you, specially to my (former) professors in Slovenia
(Lep pozdrav), and looking forward to hear from you.
Martina Skok
