me interested in this topic as well. Regarding networking decisions as strategic decisions that are made by participants in a well defined non-cooperative game, opened a novel approach to network formation. Meanwhile, substantial empirical evidence has been accumulated emphasizing the important role of social and economic networks in real world economies. Famous examples of network effects can be found in job search, granting of credits, welfare participation or even in traffic control. Given the increasing importance of network research in social sciences, the journal Games will publish a Special Issue devoted to this topic. Reviews and original papers are welcome. Topics that touch upon the strategic aspect of network formation are appropriate for this special issue. Contributions from different disciplines besides economics (like, for example, sociology, natural sciences) are welcome.Prof. Dr. Siegfried K. Berninghaus
