Mechanisms of Coordination in the Dutch Horticultural Complex

European Review of Agricultural Economics, 1992, vol. 19, issue 4, 393-416

Abstract: This study uses the network approach to trace mechanisms of coordination inside the Dutch horticultural complex of Zuid-Holland. The methodology proposed and applied combines the analysis based on the flows of goods and services, the analysis of the interlocking system and a so-called "shock analysis" of threats and challenges. This shock analysis is a dynamic analysis of threats and challenges to the entire network and its most powerful actors. The way the network responds to the external shocks gives clear indication of the process of coordination, the control over the network by actors, and the distribution of power.
