Networked Politics

"Networks are found throughout society. But many forms of social organization that are networks, such as families and social clubs, have no political ambitions. While interesting in their own right, for practical and theoretical reasons the "Networked Politics" project and volume will narrow its focus to those networks that can be defined as political....The purpose of the "Networked Politics" series is to bring together scholars to analyze questions concerning networks that are traditionally central to the study of political science and international relations, including power, authority, security, legitimacy, and accountability, and to analyze the empirical and theoretical viability of a research agenda founded on the conecpt of political networks." - excerpt from the Project Overview, Networked Politics II
