Abstract

En este artículo se analiza el rol de los incentivos, de la racionalidad y de las elecciones y el cono-cimiento de los agentes en la formación de redes sociales y, en particular, en la emergencia de mundos pequenos. Proponiendo una definición de los mundos pequenos basada en los análisis de Duncan Watts y de Kleinberg se hace una reflexión metodológica en la que se precisa el papel del individualismo metodológico en la investigación sobre la manera como emergen los mundos pequenos. Se concluye que éste actúa como una etapa metodológica complementaria al enfoque estructural de las redes sociales, en el que se parte de las decisiones individuales para explicar la emergencia de determinados equilibrios en red.
