Intermediaries, trust and efficiency of communication: A social network perspective

Abstract

Shinto Teramoto and Paulius Jurčys examine in their contribution Intermediaries, Trust and Efficiency of Communication: A Social Network Perspective how social network analysis might contribute to legal scholarship and discuss some key concepts used by proponents of this methodology. In particular, they discuss how the establishment of trust-based relationships facilitates the transfer of values and resources within the context of regulatory networks.
