Abstract:
Social network analysis is a paradigm that conceptualises social life in terms of structures of relationships among actors, rather than categories of actors. This handbook introduces readers to the key concepts and major debates of social network analysis, as well as measuring devices, key methodologies, and software applications. It features chapters on network theory, interdisciplinary applications, online networks, corporate networks, lobbying networks, and deviant networks.
