political_actors — Political actor network (1989)
- Description
Strong political alliances among 14 prominent political actors in a Midwestern city in the USA, from P. Doreian and L. H. Albert. The County Executive (A) and the County Auditor (B) were strong political rivals, each with their own supporters. The substantive issue was the construction of a federally mandated new jail: actor A supported the construction while B opposed it, and the County Council (actors D through J) was split over this issue. Two actors are connected if they are strong political allies. The data were distributed on the Pajek datasets page of the book Generalized Blockmodeling (Doreian, Batagelj and Ferligoj), from which this version was obtained.
The network has the following properties:
- Nodes:
name, the letter code of the actor (A to N), as used in the publications;position, the position of the actor (e.g. "County Executive", "Council Member 1", "City Mayor").
