A couple of weeks ago in the IPE reading group, we read this article on network analysis (this is, in fact, the only meeting of said group that I have attended). The group was divided as to whether (a) this stuff is totally useless and is only good for making pretty pictures, (b) this stuff is useful, if you have many research assistants doing the grunt work for you, or (c) this stuff is useful and realistically can be implemented (I think I may have been the only guy who voted for option c).
Anyways, the Monkey Cage has a posting up that speaks to this debate, though I'm not sure which one of these points of view it tends towards. Check it out here.
