Abstract

This study delves into rebel governance through a bibliometric analysis. Rebel groups administer areas beyond the boundaries of nation-states with varying degrees of ambition, success, and violence and indicate that spaces lacking state authority are by no means ungoverned. Following the entire research field of Rebel Governance, 1133 data documents were retrieved from the WOS and Scopus databases. Data analysis was performed using Biblioshiny. The research reveals a global trend in interest and study of rebel governance. The field also offers fertile ground for innovative research projects. The findings from trend analysis indicate a shift in interest towards certain words over the years. Nonetheless, many phenomena related to the governance of rebels and their governance still need to be researched.

İSYANCI YÖNETİMİ ÜZERİNE BİR BİBLİYOMETRİK ANALİZ

Abstract

Bu çalışma, bibliometrik analiz yöntemiyle “isyancı yönetimini” derinlemesine irdelemektedir. Bu gruplar, ulus devletlerin sınırlarının ötesinde değişen hırs, başarı ve şiddet dereceleriyle bölge yönetimleri yürütmektedirler ve devlet otoritesinin olmadığı alanların yönetilmiyor olmadığını da göstermektedir. İsyancı yönetimi araştırma alanının tamamını takip ederek, WOS ve Scopus veri tabanlarından 1133 veri dokümanı elde edilmiştir. Veri analizinde Biblioshiny kullanılmıştır. Araştırma, İsyancı yönetimine olan küresel ilgi ve çalışma alanında bir trend olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca alan, yenilikçi araştırma projeleri için de verimli bir zemin sunmaktadır. Trend analizinden elde edilen bulgular, yıllar içinde belirli kelimelere olan ilginin değiştiğini göstermektedir. Yine de isyancı grupların yönetimi ve onların yönetimi ile ilgili birçok olgu henüz araştırılmaya ihtiyaç duymaktadır.
