Network assemblage of regime stability and resilience: comparing Europe and China
通过比较中国与欧洲的历史政权网络结构，论证了不同互联模式如何影响信息传播和系统行为，从而塑造政权应对社会经济转型的能力。
Abstract This article demonstrates that the network structures of historical regimes influence the way information is spread, which in turn circumscribe the behaviors of the different groups that make up the system. It advances two central claims. The first is a methodological one showing that patterns of long-term historical change are best studied at the system level, rather than by a traditional equilibrium framework grounded in models of individual behavior. Then, an empirical claim is established by comparisons of China's hub-and-spoke hypernetwork with Europe's multi-hub hypernetwork to show that their different patterns of interconnectivity forged their respective capacities to weather intermittent socioeconomic transitions.
