1 POL 279 Political Networks: Methods and Applications Course Website: Winter 2012 Zeev Maoz Wednesday 3:00-6:00 Office Hours: TTH-3:00-4:00 We live in a networked world. To some extent everybody in the planet is tied to everybody else through some indirect ties. Politics is also about networks. The structure of ties between people, organizations, groups, and nations is defined by certain principles. These ties also have an important impact on our ideas, behaviors, and their collective consequences. Social Networks Analysis (SNA) offers a rigorous, mathematically based approach to the study of relations among units organisms, individuals, groups, organizations, and nations. It is widely used in such disciplines as physics, biology, psychology, economics, sociology, and organizational behavior, to name just a few. In political science this approach had less impact although it is eminently suited for the study of relations among political actors. The purpose of this seminar is to introduce students to SNA and to the possibilities of employing this approach to study important processes in all fields of political science. Beyond introducing the basic concepts, techniques, and ideas of SNA, the seminar will cover applications of this approach in all empirical subfields of political science including American politics, comparative politics, and international relations. Students from all subfields are welcome to attend. Topics: Social Networks the Science of a Connected Age. A general introduction to SNA s philosophy; the historical evolution of this approach; how it was used to advance knowledge in various disciplines; some observations about the limitations of this approach. Types of Networks. Directed and non-directed relations; relational and affiliational networks; multiple networks; nested networks. The Basic Mathematics of Social Networks. Graphic and matrix representation of networks; Direct and indirect relations in social networks; basic network characteristics: density, transitivity, centrality and centralizations. Characteristics of Units: Egonets, centrality and prestige, dependence and interdependence, local transitivity. Characteristics of Subsets. Dyads, triads, cliques, communities, blocs and blockmodels, group characteristics analysis. Fit coefficients.
2 Political Networks Methods and Applications 2 Signed Networks and Structural Balance. Cognitive algebra, nodal balance, balanced cyclicality, group balance, network balance. Positional Analysis. Structural equivalence, role equivalence Network Composition and Compound Relations. Relations among networks and their implications. We will examine networks in international relations, in congress, and explore experimental study of networks in micro-political settings. We have three principal textbooks for this course. Stanley Wasserman and Katherine Faust Social Networks Analysis: Methods and Applications. New York: Cambridge University Press (second printing) Hereafter referred to as Wasserman and Faust (1997) Peter J. Carrington, John Scott, and Stanley Wasserman (eds.) Models and Methods in Social Networks Analysis. New York: Cambridge University Press hereafter referred to as Carrington et al. (2005). Zeev Maoz Networks of Nations: The Evolution, Structure, and Impact of International Networks, New York: Cambridge University Press hereafter referred to as Maoz 2011a. Recommended: Matthew O. Jackson Social and Economic Networks. Princeton: Princeton University Press. Note: This is a quite general but difficult book. It assumes a lot of math, but those of you who are into the topic, are welcome to peruse it. Software Packages: We will be using two software packages. UCINET is the most commonly used package in SNA. A free trial package can be downloaded for 60 days. The download website is After 60 days, you will need to get a licensed package. I am working on getting a budget so you can be reimbursed for buying it (it costs $40 for students). This is a pretty comprehensive package. Please be sure to download a package to your PC and bring your PCs to class so we can practice it. MaozNet. This program can be downloaded from my website Please be sure to follow the instructions on the Webpage before downloading it. Also, there is a bug with the online help file, so please download the help file separately. This program should also be on your PCs for the first session. Note: those using Macs should
3 Political Networks Methods and Applications 3 have a Windows emulation program in order to be able to run it. The same applies to UCINET. Datasets that can be used for your work. You will find a number of datasets on drive S in directory S:\graduate\pol \. These include the following datasets. 1. International Alliances. These are data on international alliance networks, spanning the period of , and measured annually. They had been collected by the ATOP Project (Leeds, 2005). There are three datasets in this subdirectory. a. A binary alliance variable with 1 denoting the presence of any type of alliance commitment between states at a given year, and zero if no alliance of any type exists between the states. b. A binary defense/offense variable, with 1 denoting the presence of a high-level alliance (either a defense pact or an offense pact) between the states for a given year, and zero otherwise. c. A continuous relative commitment variable denoting the strength of security commitment between the states for that given year. The coding of the relative commitment score is documented in Maoz (2011a: 41-42). 2. International Trade. Here there are two different trade datasets. a. The first was collected by Katherine Barbieri, Omar Keshk, and Brian Pollins (BKP in the file name), and covers the period of The data measure the share of the row s state (statea) GDP that have been exported to stateb at a given year. There is a continuous trade dataset and a binary trade dataset. The cutoff for binary trade is one thousandth of a GDP going from statea to stateb. b. The second was collected by Kristian Gledtisch for the period and expanded by John Oneal and Bruce Russett to cover the period Data are the same as the BKP data. The key difference is that the original BKP dataset has over fifty percent missing data. These data were assigned a score of zero in the files provided here. Gledtisch used a number of techniques to impute missing data, so that the proportion of missing data in that file is much lower (about 16%). Those were also assigned a score of zero in the file. 3. International Governmental Organizations (IGOs). These data list state membership in IGOs since Data were collected by Jon Pevehouse, Tim Nordstrom, and Kevin Wrenke. Data are set up in two types of file: the IGOaffil files are affiliation networks denoting whether a given state (row) is affiliated with one, two, or more IGOs. The igosimilarity dataset measures the relative IGO affiliation similarity of two states as explained by Maoz (2011a: 43-47). 4. European Party Systems. This is a dataset generated by Zeynep Somer-Topcu and Zeev Maoz. It covers the political systems of seventeen European states and Israel over the period of Data measure ideological similarity between pairs of political parties based on the similarity of their positions as stated in their political manifestos. 5. Senate Data. These data cover two types of behaviors of Senators from the 93 rd to the 110 th Congress. One dataset covers the extent to which two senators co-sponsored the same bills. The other examines the similarity of their roll-call votes.

Exercise 2: Develop a set of hypotheses linking network centrality to some aspect of behavior of actors (or groups of actors) in the two networks which you analyzed in Exercise 2. Measure the centrality of actors (or groups) in these networks Measure nodal power in these networks Test the hypotheses. Report your findings and draw conclusions on the relationship between (a) centrality and power, (b) attributes and power, and (c) the effects of centrality, attributes, and network power on behavior in these networks. Week 3: Dyads and Triads in Social Networks Characteristics of and relations in dyads and triads as subgroups of social networks.

(Difficult.) Exercise 3: One of three options. Exercise similar to Exercise 2, developing and testing hypotheses on dyadic relations and dyadic behavior/outcomes using measures of structural/role equivalence. (1) Measure the structural/role equivalence of dyads in your networks, (2) compare between the measures of structural and role equivalence in the networks, and (3) test the effect of structural/role equivalence on dyadic relations using an external measure of behavior/relations. For example, if you are using alliances as the network from which you are measuring structural/role equivalence, test the effects of equivalence on the probability of dyadic conflict. If you are using the Senate data, test the effect of equivalence on the probability of the two senators voting the same way in roll calls. Exercise similar to Exercise 2, developing and testing hypotheses on triadic relations and triadic behavior. Tasks similar to the process above. Exercise similar to Exercise 2, developing and testing hypotheses on the difference between direct and indirect dyadic relations, choosing appropriate measures of direct and indirect dyadic attributes. Tasks similar to the process above. Week 4: Partitioning networks into groups

Exercise 4: Use the alliance or congressional datasets to generate block partitions of the network. If you are using the alliance dataset, compare your blocks to the actual alliances that existed that year. If you are drawing blocks from the congressional datasets compare these with the Poole and Rosenthal common space score and the Fowler Closeness index. Discuss the extent to which actual closeness results match the blockmodel structure of the network.
