This book introduces the non-specialist reader to the principal ideas,
nature and purpose of social network analysis. Social networks operate
on many levels, from families up to the level of nations, and play a
critical role in determining the way problems are solved,
organizations are run, and the degree to which individuals achieve
their goals. Social network theory maps these relationships between
individual actors. Though relatively new on the scene it has become
hugely influential across the social sciences. Assuming no prior
knowledge of quantitative sociology, this book presents the key ideas
in context through examples and illustrations. Using a structured
approach to understanding work in this area, John Scott signposts
further reading and online sources so readers can develop their
knowledge and skills to become practitioners of this research method.
A series of Frequently Asked Questions takes the reader through the
main objections raised against social network analysis and answers the
various queries that will come up once the reader has worked their way
through the book.
