Abstract: In order to analyze influences of common humanistic relations on international services trade, this paper includes two parts. In the first part, from the perspective of “the network of networks”, the QAP bipartite weighted network was constructed. According to the analysis on QAP bipartite weighted network by distance index, it is discovered that the whole structure of networks of common humanistic relations influence service trade network structure; different common humanistic relations have heterogeneous promotion effect on a kind of service trade; a kind of common humanistic relation have different influences on different kinds of services trade. In the second part, we further research influences of the inner substructure, communities, of common humanistic relations on international services trade by community analysis from different relations perspective. Research results suggest that there is more significant promotion of large communities than small ones owing to the network externality of common humanistic relations.
