Social network analysis is a rapidly growing specialty within the social sciences. It provides a convincing way to study social processes. It involves the study of social objects and the social relations among and between them. The objects can be ideas, individuals, groups, organizations, cities, states, societies, etc. The relationships are equally diverse. Fruitful tools include graph theory, topology, and matrix methods.
