- Title
Social networks and institutional completeness: From territory to ties.
- Authors
Goldenberg, Sheldon; Haines, Valerie A.
- Abstract
The concept of institutional completeness plays an important role in the study of ethnic communities in Canadian sociology. Using competing concepts of community as our framework for analysis, we (1) document the shift from an ecological to a network concept of community that occurs in urban and community sociology, (2) demonstrate that the current framing of the concept of institutional completeness rests on an ecological foundation, and (3) argue that shifting to a network concept of community produces a network reframing that extends the utility of the concept of institutional completeness by allowing us to apply it to both territorial and non-territorial communities.
