Separate investment networks between General Partners (GP) and Limited Partners (LP) for five different asset classes (private equity, private debt, real estate, natural resources, and infrastructure) and one combined ("hybrid") network. Each of the six networks has thousands of nodes and a typical Fruchterman-Reingold network layout.

Polarisation curve for the US Congress between 2011 and 2016, peaking around the release of the Clean Power Plan in the summer of 2015.
In this new paper with @fisherdanar.bsky.social in Politics and Governance, we distinguish intrinsic and instrumental polarisation and analyse polarisation curves and phases in US climate politics. We also present new methods for discourse networks. doi.org/10.17645/pag... @cogitatiopag.bsky.social

Three stages with ideal-type network structures. The first stage shows two separate clusters of solution-oriented actors and actors with vested interests. The second stage shows a disaggregation into multiple clusters of each kind. The third stage shows emerging advocacy coalitions as clusters cutting across the two types of actors.
