*Call for Papers**
*

*
*

*Social Networks*, in conjunction for the Political Network Section of the
American Political Association, invites papers for a special issue devoted
to the topic of political networks.  Submissions should either highlight the
role of relational theories and methods for the study of political questions
or speak to the unique contributions that political networks can bring to
the broader study of networks.


 Potential topics include, but are not limited to, analysis of policy-making
networks; the intersection of technology and politics; examinations of
social influence in political behavior; re-conceptualization of power and
conflict in international relations; organizational behavior both within and
between governments; methods developed for the study of political networks;
theoretical models of political interactions; and/or similar topics.
Consistent
with the mission of *Social Networks*, we welcome submissions from the
diverse disciplines, theories, and methodologies that address the core theme
of the issue.


All submissions are subject to double-blind review and will be judged on the
degree to which they make a contribution to the study of political networks.
Interested parties should submit a 2-3 page summary of the paper along with
key references to Scott McClurg ([log in to unmask]) or David Lazer (
[log in to unmask]) by *January 15, 2011*.  Potential contributors will be
invited to submit their papers for full review soon thereafter (mid-summer
2011).  The anticipated date of publication of the special issue is summer
2012.

Best,

scott
