Social Structure and Network Analysis (SAGE Focus Editions)

Network analysis is being increasingly looked to as a means of understanding social structure. It can shed light on how individual actions create social structure, how social structure constrains the individual, and how attitudes and behaviour are determined by social structure. Articles by leading proponents of network analysis and structuralism examine how these methodological techniques and this theoretical approach can be applied to a variety of social phenomena. Written by some of the leading proponents of network analysis, this book will be welcomed by professionals in sociology and their students.Marsden, Peter V. is the author of 'Social Structure and Network Analysis (SAGE Focus Editions)', published 1982 under ISBN 9780803918887 and ISBN 0803918887.
