Integrated Adversarial Network Theory (iANT)

Abstract

As the BAA for this grant noted, social network studies have proliferated in recent NUMBER NUMBER(S) years but there has been a significant lack of integration across network studies such that "a broad, generic, adaptable, flexible, and modular theory of social networks ... has not been realized" (DTRA BAA). This is a summary report of a 3-year basic research grant whose overarching objective has been the development of just such an integrated social network theory. It is important to emphasize at the outset that this project was not an empirical one and did not involve data collection, nor were any theories submitted to empirical test. In focusing on the generation of integrated network theory, our focus has been exclusively theoretical The results of our work have been published in a number of peer-reviewed journals (e.g., Science, 2009-see Appendix A for a detailed list).
