Abstract
Seaquist and Johansson describe how network analysis can be used to operationalise the telecoupling framework. Starting with the building blocks of a network model, they demonstrate how network analysis can be used to clarify understandings about the effects of globalisation on land system change. Key metrics are presented and exemplified in an accessible manner, each focussing on local, community, and global levels of analysis. The toolbox rounds off with reflections on some of the challenges researchers face for operationalising the telecoupling framework with network analysis.
