Andrew Buck (BA Wisconsin, MA Cornell, PhD Columbia) has interests in social network analysis, political sociology and economic sociology. His research focus is on the former Soviet Union and eastern Europe. He conducted an in-depth case study of elites in a Russian city to explore the relationship between social networks and political participation. He has also published research on enterprise restructuring during liberalization that draws on ideas from economic sociology. His most recent project compares “letters to the editor” from Soviet and post-Soviet newspapers to understand how democracy changes the way citizens publicly express their claims on elites.
