Applicants are invited to submit papers that use social network analysis at either local, national or transnational level. We’re particularly interested in research offering insights into the social attributes of dominant economic elites and their interdependencies with the political sphere through think tanks, clubs and informal groups. We also welcome papers that offer new empirical perspectives or analytical tools to understand how corporate networks are embedded into non-corporate forms of sociability, thus facilitating the connection of the economic realm with other social spheres.Papers may also explore how interlocking directorates help understand the transformation of business elites, especially when they are confronted with socio-political or financial crises.Finally, the session welcomes innovative approaches that combine social network analysis with qualitative or other quantitative methods (multiple correspondence analysis, sequence analysis, etc.).Session organizers :Roy Barnes, University of Michigan-FlintTarun Banerjee, University of PittsburghJoshua Murray,Vanderbilt UniversityCatherine Comet, University of Lille 1Bruno Cousin, Sciences Po ParisFrançois-Xavier Dudouet, Paris Dauphine UniversityJules Naudet, CNRS-EHESSMohamed Oubenal, IRCAM (Rabat)Antoine Vion, Aix-Marseille University
