  • SF 83.4 Bian.Indd
    Occupation, Class, and Social Networks in Urban China* yanjie bian, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology ronald breiger, University of Arizona deborah davis, Yale University joseph galaskiewicz, University of Arizona Abstract China’s class structure is changing dramatically in the wake of post-1978 market- oriented economic reforms. The creation of a mixed “market-socialist” economy has eroded the institutional bases of a cadre-dominated social hierarchy and created conditions for a new pattern of social stratification. Although conditions remain dynamic, results of a 1998 urban survey that measured strength and diversity of social ties among 400 households in four of China’s largest cities documented networks of social exchange among 13 occupation-based classes that identify a class structure distinct from the cadre-dominated social hierarchy of the Mao era. In particular, analysis of visiting during the Lunar New Year celebration suggests an urban society simultaneously divided along two axes: one by economic success in the more privatized economy and one by distinctions in political authority at the workplace. Thus contrary to those who privilege market transactions as the primary engine for creating a new class hierarchy, we conclude that to understand processes of social stratification one needs theories and methods that work simultaneously with multiple dynamics of class differentiation rather than presuming linear hierarchy. * Earlier versions of this article were presented at the Sunbelt International Conference on Social Network Analysis, Cancun, Mexico, February 12–16, 2003; the annual meetings of the American Sociological Association, Atlanta, August 15–19, 2003; and the conference “Current Situations in China,” in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Universities Service Center, Chinese University of Hong Kong, January 5–7, 2004.

  • Introduction: the Past and Future of Ego-Centric Network Analysis” Mario L
    “Introduction: The Past and Future of Ego-Centric Network Analysis” Mario L. Small, Bernice Pescosolido, Brea L. Perry, Edward (Ned) Smith Draft October 2020 Forthcoming, in Personal Networks Classic Readings and New Directions in Ego-centric Analysis, edited by Mario L. Small, Brea L. Perry, Bernice Pescosolido, and Edward (Ned) Smith Network analysis is ubiquitous. In recent years, it has shaped how researchers and society as a whole understand issues as diverse as the spread of disease, the precursors of loneliness, the rise of protest movements, the causes of social inequality, the flows of air traffic, the rise of social media, and much more (Wasserman and Faust 1994; Barabasi 2002; Christakis and Fowler 2009; Watts and Strogatz 1998; Watts 1999).1 This influence is due to the remarkable flexibility and power of network analysis. A network is simply a set of nodes and the ties between them, and a node can be anything—an individual, an organization, a website, a computer server, an airport, a nation, or any entity with the capacity to connect in any fashion to another entity. The ability to think of any relationship in network terms has proved remarkably generative for researchers. Social scientists have traditionally conducted network studies in one of two ways (see Wasserman and Faust 1994; Kadushin 2012; Borgatti, Everett, and Johnson 2013; Crossley et al. 2015; Perry, Pescosolido, and Borgatti 2018; McCarty et al. 2019). Those adopting a sociocentric perspective examine a set of actors and all realized or potential ties between them; those adopting an egocentric one, a set of actors and their relations of any type that is of interest to the researcher.

    ௠ Academy of Management Journal 2004, Vol. 47, No. 6, 795–817. TAKING STOCK OF NETWORKS AND ORGANIZATIONS: A MULTILEVEL PERSPECTIVE DANIEL J. BRASS University of Kentucky JOSEPH GALASKIEWICZ University of Arizona HENRICH R. GREVE Norwegian School of Management BI WENPIN TSAI Pennsylvania State University The central argument of network research is that actors are embedded in networks of interconnected social relationships that offer opportunities for and constraints on behavior. We review research on the antecedents and consequences of networks at the interpersonal, interunit, and interorganizational levels of analysis, evaluate recent theoretical and empirical trends, and give directions for future research, highlighting the importance of investigating cross-level network phenomena. A quarter century of social network research in nected relationships that provide opportunities for management journals has resulted in the accumu- and constraints on behavior. This perspective dif- lation of many findings in recent years (see, for fers from traditional perspectives in organizational example, Borgatti and Foster [2003] for a recent studies that examine individual actors in isolation. review). Network studies have appeared regularly The difference is the focus on relations rather than in management journals, contributing to the inves- attributes, on structured patterns of interaction tigation of a wide range of organizational topics rather than isolated individual actors. It is the in- across different levels of analysis (for a discussion tersection of relationships that defines an individ- of the concepts, techniques and measures in net- ual’s centrality in a group, a group’s role in an work analysis, see, for example, Wasserman and organization (White, Boorman, & Breiger, 1976), or Faust [1994]).

    Sociology 527 Joseph Galaskiewicz Spring, 2012 Social Science 434 Social Science 415 520-621-7084 Wednesday, 3:30-6:00 PM [email protected] SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS Introduction: The purpose of this course is to give graduate students in the social and behavioral sciences a better understanding of how social network analysis has been used to study a variety of social processes. More specifically, we want to identify the key network concepts that have been used by social and behavioral scientists, describe the ways in which they've been operationalized in empirical research, evaluate their contribution to the understanding of substantive problems in sociology and administrative science in particular, and critique their use. This course cannot cover all the work that has been done in the social and behavioral sciences in the network tradition. The literature is too massive. Nonetheless, the course will be useful for those who wish to learn more about social network analysis and some of its applications. Soc 527 (this course) and Soc 526 (Research Methods in Social Network Analysis) are often offered in alternate years. Students may, if they want, take both courses for credit, in either order. Soc 526 concerns qualitative and quantitative methods for researching social networks. Soc 527 touches upon methods but focuses more on substantive problems in the social and behavioral sciences where networks analysis has made some contribution. Format: For the first twelve weeks the format for the seminar is straightforward. Students are expected to do all the readings beforehand. The instructor will give some background on the topics and some of his own opinions on the readings.

  • Dominance Relations and the Social Structure of Gang Homicide1
    Murder by Structure: Dominance Relations and the Social Structure of Gang Homicide1 Andrew V. Papachristos University of Massachusetts, Amherst Most sociological theories consider murder an outcome of the dif- ferential distribution of individual, neighborhood, or social char- acteristics. And while such studies explain variation in aggregate homicide rates, they do not explain the social order of murder, that is, who kills whom, when, where, and for what reason. This article argues that gang murder is best understood not by searching for its individual determinants but by examining the social networks of action and reaction that create it. In short, the social structure of gang murder is defined by the manner in which social networks are constructed and by people’s placement in them. The author uses a network approach and incident-level homicide records to recreate and analyze the structure of gang murders in Chicago. Findings demonstrate that individual murders between gangs create an in- stitutionalized network of group conflict, net of any individual’s participation or motive. Within this network, murders spread through an epidemic-like process of social contagion as gangs eval- uate the highly visible actions of others in their local networks and negotiate dominance considerations that arise during violent incidents. INTRODUCTION Most sociological theories of murder seek general “laws” or social “causes” and rely heavily on heterogeneity or stratification as the main correlates 1 Of the many people who provided feedback on this project, I would like to especially thank Mark Mizruchi, Tracey Meares, Jeff Fagan, Richard Taub, James Short, Damon Phillips, Ron Burt, John Padgett, Edward Laumann, Robert Sampson, Jason Beckfield, David Kirk, Andrea Leverentz, Don Tomaskovic-Devey, Emily Erikson, and the AJS reviewers for their extensive comments.

In philosophy and social anthropology it is assumed that in humans lack of natural instincts has always led to social depend- ence and thus has constructed social networks.2 Accordingly, from the moment of birth the human relies on a social environment to sat- isfy his basic needs and to learn the cultural codes (for example, lan- guage, behaviour, norms and values). This is the only way that he can integrate into society and become capable of survival. The signif- icance of networks for actors, the effects they bring about and similar issues are the focal point of so-called ‘relational science’ that has developed since the late nineteenth century.
