Cíle předmětu
This course introduces the students to qualitative and quantitative network analysis and its interdisciplinary applications in institutional analysis, political economy and ecology, social-ecological economics, international relations, among others Social Network Analysis (SNA), Ecological Network AnalysiS (ENA) , and Social-Ecological Network Analysis (SENA) will be introduced. The students will understand the basics of network analysis across disciplines and be prepared to transfer parts of the acquired knowledge to cases of their own interest.
Výstupy z učení
After this course participants will have gathered a basic understanding of the concepts of network analysis and its applications across disciplines. The students will understand the fundamental network theories, concepts and ideas; be able to carry out network visualization and basic network descriptive analysis through taught software, and understand basics of simple statistical models; be able to transfer and apply the acquired knowledge to a self-selected case.
