Barry,
I wrote an entry on "Network Theory" for George Ritzer, Karen Cook, et
al. (eds.), Handbook of Sociological Theory (London: Sage),
2004:534-540. I explicitly avoided methodological issues and focused
instead on theoretical ones. One issue I addressed was the implicit
theory of action in network analysis, in particular the often implicit
rational choice perspective of many of us, vs. the Harrison-influenced
idea of robust action. I argued that the two are not incompatible- a
view that I'm not sure Harrison would share.

Folks,
Here's something to muse about while doing your Kwanza shopping:
I have to write a 1K entry for a sociology encylopedia about a small
subject: "Social Networks".
I'd be grateful if you would send me concise statements on what you
think
the big ideas, leading topics, most useful methods, and key findings are
-- not the fad of the moment.
I'd appreciate it if you'd post your replies to the list rather than
sending to me personally. This way, others have a chance to react and
comment.
I'll need this by Dec 20.
Barry
