Dear Socnetters,

My apologies for this late addition to the discussion on 
'qualitative' network analysis, and for the somewhat shameless 
references to my own work. With my Finnish, French and other European 
colleagues, we have carried out more or less 'qualitative' research 
on personal networks in Russia, Finland, Estonia and other European 
countries during the last ten years or so. You may want to check out 
the methodological appendix of my dissertation (Lonkila 1999, e.g., 
pages 23-28, 48-62), which is available at:

http://ethesis.helsinki.fi/julkaisut/val/sosio/vk/lonkila/

Another dissertation carried out with the same methods by my Finnish 
colleague, Anna-Maija Castrén was published in 2000 (Family and Work 
In Helsinki and St. Petersburg, SKS, 2000, in Finnish) and a third 
one by Anna-Maria Salmi (Social Networks and Everyday Practices in 
Russia, Kikimora Publications, 2006), will come out this spring (in 
English). As to my own/ coauthored empirical studies employing the 
'qualitative' network methods, you may want to look at the following 
examples:

Gladarev, Boris and Lonkila, Markku (forthcoming): "Social networks 
and mobile phone use in Russia. Local consequences of global 
communication technology". Forthcoming in New Media & Society.

and Communication Technology Professionals". Post-Communist 
Economies, vol. 18, no. 1, 13-31.

Collective and Migration". Europe-Asia Studies, vol. 57, no.5, 681-
703.

Lonkila, Markku: (2004): "Phone notebooks as data on personal 
networks". Connections, vol. 26, no. 1, 53-61. 

Alapuro Risto and Lonkila, Markku (2000): "Networks, identity, and 
(in)action. A comparison between Russian and Finnish teachers". 
European Societies vol. 2, no. 1, 65-90.

Qualitative Network Analysis". Connections, vol. 22, no. 1, 52-61.

Teaching Profession in post-Soviet Russia". Europe-Asia Studies vol.
