Abstract: Governance in modern societies is characterized by the complementary and conflictual coexistence of hierarchical and network-like relationships among corporate actors. The interaction effects between these pure modes are as yet poorly understood. It is hoped that game-theoretic and network-theoretic analyses will ultimately be able to model these more complex hybrid structures. There is less agreement, however, on the potential usefulness of improved analytical models for empiricial research aiming at the explanation of real-world interactions in political, economic and societal institutions. This reader helps to clarify the issues in a focused discourse between empiricists and modelers who are equally interested in advancing our understanding of governance in modern societies.
