国际关系学术已经开始将大量注意力集中在社交网络及其对政治结果的影响上。在本文中，我们通过研究国际非政府组织（INNGOs）在环境、健康、人权和发展四个问题领域的网络关系，为这一努力做出贡献。使用4000多个INTRONIC的原始编码数据，我们发现这四个地区的网络关系的特征实际上是完全不同的。此外，我们发现，这些差异部分是由INEMPRENT的特点驱动的，包括它们是否位于全球北方或南方以及它们与政府间组织的联系。最后，我们强调了组织的关键“桥梁”作用，重点是在整个网络中的多个问题领域的“混合”。
International Relations scholarship has begun to focus a great deal of attention on social networks and their influence on political outcomes. In this paper, we contribute to this effort by examining the network relationships of international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) across four issues areas: the environment, health, human rights, and development. Using originally coded data on over 4000 INGOs, we find that the characteristics of network relations across the four areas are in fact quite different. Further, we find that these differences are driven in part by the characteristics of the INGOs, including whether they are located in the global North or South and their ties to intergovernmental organizations. Finally, we highlight the crucial “bridge” role of organizations that focus on a “hybrid” of multiple issue-areas within the overall network.
