16. Advocacy Networks Made up of individuals called actors who share particular values, common discourse, and “dense exchanges of information and services” that work internationally on a particular issue. Types of Global Networks Friendship Networks Business, Trading, and Commercial Networks This type of network includes transnational economic and business networks. Imperial Networks This type of network looks into social communication patterns, interpersonal bonding, and social support. Analysis of imperial empires are usually done by historians who study spatial patterns of connections that link the metropoles with the colonies.

17. Information Networks These are global networks where communication is the primary function. Information networks develop as new technologies of communication encounter a variety of functions. Types of Global Networks Migrant Networks Knowledge/Intellectual Networks This type of network gives importance to the transmission of knowledge and its connection with policy development. Policy Networks It deals with migrants who left their countries and settled in new territories. Defined as a set of “relatively stable relations that are nonhierarchical and interdependent in nature that links a variety of actors who have common interests with regard to a particular policy and exchange resources to pursue these shared interests” ( Borzel 1998, 254)

18. Professional Networks A type of network that deals with the promotion of the professionals’ mental and academic interests to support sociability and friendship. Types of Global Networks Religious Networks Terrorist Networks This network became a growing trend in global network scholarship with the aftermath of the 9/11 on the World Trade Center in New York City. It engaged in organized crimes because they need funds to sustain their activities. Women’s Networks Most of the literature on religious networks deal with religions practiced by immigrants and their respective networks. Holton (2008), notes that most of these networks deal with the Islamic networks. Women have been a focus of many networks. Some of these networks focus on women themselves while others involve women in networks alongside men. Women’s networks are also connected with other network types such as advocacy and friendship networks.
