Interlocking Directorates Project

In this project, we reconstruct national and international interlocking directorates networks within Europe. Considering that no one has done this before, we focus both on describing as well as explaining differences in networks. We study both company as well as country effects. Additionally, we study how these national networks of interlocking directorates are connected to emerging transnational networks.
