Power Players: Pinpoint and Predict

FAS.research, Vienna

2005

Project Description:
In a large European country we tried to predict who might be invited onto a governmental advisory board to help re-shape policies within a certain sector. Publicly available data about political functions and professional/scientific interaction were analysed. Ex post our methods proved very stable.

Legend:
Nodes represent actors. The larger a node, the more influential and central a person is. A line between actor A and B indicates that they both serve on the same board or committee. The thicker the line the more often their paths cross. Yellow marks the political space, Red the professional space and Orange a union of both.
