Document Summary
Multiple networks and mobilization in the paris commune, 1871. Despite widespread acceptance of the notion that network or structural factors play a role in mobilization or recruitment, only a handful of studies have made genuine progress to understand the significance of such factors. Principal reason: the utilization of purely scalar variables to measure networks of social relations. Network effects are simply examined by counting social ties and using these counts as interval variables in regression equations. Analyzed as it operates exclusively on the individual level. Two key issues, network structure and multiplexity have received insufficient consideration in theory and research. Goal of gould: demonstrate the effect of social relations on the mobilization of collective action depends on the way in which these relations are structure and more precisely, on the correspondence between organizational and informal networks. Insurgent mobilization was effected through a highly visible formal organization, the paris national guard.
