Международная конференция по анализу социальных сетей Sunbelt

Международная конференция по анализу социальных сетей Sunbelt является официальной ежегодной конференцией Международной сети исследователей социальных сетей (International Network for Social Network Analysis, или INSNA). INSNA в настоящее время насчитывает более тысячи постоянных членов, и большое количество участников, заинтересованных в посещении и представлении своих работ на конференциях Sunbelt.

В 2020 году конференции Sunbelt исполняется 40 лет, этот год особенный для исследователей социальных сетей. Конференция должна была состояться в Париже, однако в связи с пандемией коронавируса юбилейный Sunbelt пройдет в онлайн формате.

В этом году ANR-Lab проведет две организованные сессии на Sunbelt:

1. Сессия «Научные сети» (Анушка Ферлигой, Дарья Мальцева)

Scientific networks studies have been developed in the areas of sociology of science, information science, scientometrics and bibliometrics. These studies can be characterized by variety of initial data sources, methodological approaches, and techniques. This session is aimed to demonstrate this diversity and comprehensive applicability of scientific networks studies to various scientific disciplines. We welcome papers covering the wide range of possible types of scientific networks measuring scientific communication, collaboration, fields’ mapping and development in social and natural sciences. The session will build bridges between scholars who study scientific networks in national, international, interdisciplinary, and other diverse contexts. Papers in the session are expected to encourage the future research by addressing various topics on scientific networks across time and space, as well as discussing multilayer, multilevel and multimode networks in science.

2. Сессия «Политические сети» (Валентина Кускова, Дмитрий Зайцев)

During the last few decades, the interest in policy processes generated the number of formal theoretical explanation. Among them are the Advocacy coalition framework (Sabatier, Hank Jenkins-Smith 1993), Punctuated equilibrium theory (Frank R. Baumgartner and Bryan D. Jones 1993), Multiple streams approach (Kingdon 1984), Policy styles theories (Richardson et al. 1982), Policy design & Policy capacity framework (Howlett et. Al 2018), Pragmatic approach to public policy (Zittoun 2014), and some others. Each of them makes its own unique contributions explaining the multidimensional and complex nature of public policy and policy change; attempt to grasp the multiactor nature of policy-making.

We welcome papers that use SNA to test a particular policy that models the complexity of policy-making as a conjunction of variety of actors and factors external to the policy actors’ activity. The papers can use a variety of SNA techniques: policy networks visualizations, calculation of centrality measures, building social influence, and social selection models, ERGM models, longitudinal network analysis, multimode and multilevel networks. The special concern of this panel is to test, challenge, verify, and validate the current and developing theories of policy process.
