Zusammenfassung

Der Text von Duncan Watts ist ein Gründungsdokument der » neuen « Netzwerkwissenschaft (Watts und Strogatz 1998). Es zeigt, wie weitgehend unabhängig von der sozialwissenschaftlichen SNA sie entstanden ist. Unter maßgeblicher Beteiligung von Naturwissenschaftlern und Mathematikern analysiert, modelliert und untersucht sie Netzwerke unterschiedlicher Gegenstandsbereiche mit dem Ziel, allgemeine Mechanismen der Netzwerkbildung zu identifizieren (vgl. Barabási/Albert → 1999).
