Interest in networks in the fields of public management and policy
has grown to encompass a wide array of phenomena. However, we lack
a stable and empirically verifiable taxonomy for delineating one
network class from another. The authors propose all networks and
multi-organizational collaborative entities can be sorted into
three taxonomic classes: structural-oriented, system-oriented, and
purpose-oriented. This Element reviews the intellectual
disciplinary histories that have informed our understanding of each
of the three classes of networks. It then offers a taxonomic
description of each of the three classes of networks. Finally, it
provides a field guide for empirically classifying networks. The
authors hope is the taxonomy presented will serve as a tool to
allow the field to quicken the pace of learning both within and
across classes. When we are able to compare apples to apples and
avoid inadvertent comparison of apples and oranges, we all get
smarter faster.
