Interest-network structures in exchange networks

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine how a type of interest-network structure influences the distribution of power in exchange networks. The type of interest-network structure under consideration is exclusionary or where power differences arise from the differential ability to exclude exchange partners from exchange. Given the assumptions that come with the analytic method and the computer simulation method, results indicate that the interest-network structure of interest coincidence can significantly influence the power rankings of network members.

Community, capitalism, and rebellion in Chiapas

Article Abstract:

The contributions of local land tenure, community solidarity and market activities to the 1994 rebellion in Chiapas, Mexico, are investigated. Results show that neither the ejido land tenure system, nor community solidarity, nor community disruption and commercialization can be considered as major factors in the revolt. Instead, the rebellion was due to the need for land by immigrants to the Lacondon forest area and modifications in the land tenure law which prevented them from acquiring real property.
