Introduction to Social Network Theory

This document provides an overview of Module 1 of a social studies course on social networking and social integration. It discusses network theory and social network analysis. Specifically, it summarizes Ronald Burt's expansion of Granovetter's theory of weak ties and how weak ties can bridge networks. The module aims to help students understand how to map relationships between a community as a network and how network theory can explain political outcomes through relationships rather than individual attributes. Resources on social network analysis and network theory are provided.

the 'strength of weak ties' by arguing that the real value in weak ties lies in when they
bridge between networks, and therefore become the conduits of knowledge,
information, and value between those networks.

Network theory is the study of graphs as a representation of either


symmetric relations or asymmetric relations between discrete objects. In computer
science and network science, network theory is a part of graph theory: a network can
be defined as a graph in which nodes and/or edges have attributes (e.g. names).

Rationale

Focused on:
 Social Network Analysis: An Introduction
 Network Theory

Intended Learning Outcomes


a. to understand a community by mapping the relationships that connect them
as a network,
b. provides a set of propositions about the sources of political outcomes that are
relational rather than intrinsic to actors.
