The empirical focus is centered on the large social movement network created by the Koch Brothers to further their aims of transforming the US. The network was obtained by using the VOSON web crawler given a starting set of known allies of the Koch Brothers. This produced a large directed network with links between units. We propose using the idea of hubs and authorities as another way of considering the roles played by the units within this network. These roles may be more complex than has been realized. We have included an analysis of the core interests for the members of this network.

科赫兄弟网络中的枢纽和机构

实证研究的重点是由科赫兄弟（Koch Brothers）建立的庞大的社会运动网络，以进一步实现其改造美国的目标。该网络是通过使用VOSON网络搜寻器获得的，该搜索器为Koch Brothers提供了一组已知的起始盟友。这产生了一个大型的定向网络，在单元之间建立了链接。我们建议使用集线器和权限的想法作为考虑该网络中各部门所扮演角色的另一种方式。这些角色可能比已经意识到的要复杂。我们已经对该网络成员的核心利益进行了分析。
