Description

Bonachich's definition of centrality is often criticized because of its recursive difinition. We argue the definition has its own rationale, in spite of its demerits. Defining a structure as relatively stable pattern of relations, we can derive a network out of the structure. A network is composed of action, not actors. An effort of defining emergent properties of elements within a network necessarily requires specification of structural properties of other elements within the structure.
