Polarization in Networks: Identification-alienation Framework

Kenan Huremović and Ali Ozkes

Papers from arXiv.org

Abstract: We introduce a model of polarization in networks as a unifying framework for the measurement of polarization that covers a wide range of applications. We consider a sufficiently general setup for this purpose: node- and edge-weighted, undirected, and connected networks. We generalize the axiomatic characterization of Esteban and Ray (1994) and show that only a particular instance within this class can be used justifiably to measure polarization in networks.
