Multiple Networks and Mobilization in the Paris Commune, 1871
 (Roger Gould, 1991)

Research question:
 How did formal and informal networks affect mobilization of resistance in the Commune?

Networks and mobilization

Empirical analysis

  • Different arrondissements showed different

levels of resistance to French army

  • Arrondissements with many residents serving in

battalions of highly committed arrondissements showed substantially higher commitment themselves

  • Result holds even taking into account

geography and residents’ income/training

Two major takeaways


  • Network structure matters:


Relations to others can have far-reaching effects that depend on the larger structure of a network.

  • Network multiplexity matters:


Different forms of relations (e.g. neighborhood and formal associations) play simultaneous, interconnected roles in affecting behavior.
