This network bases on the Dutch Elite network, however it has been shrunk down to include the top 200 of the administrative elite in The Netherlands in April 2006.

Background:

The data was collected by the major Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant as a special journalistic project led by Wilco Dekker and Ben van Raaij. The project yielded 10 full-page articles in de Volkskrant (22/4/2006, 29/4/2006, 6/5/2006, 13/5/2006, 20/5/2006, 27/5/2005, 3/6/2006, 10/6/2006), which were collected and extended in a book: Wilco Dekker & Ben van Raaij, De elite. De Volkskrant Top 200 van invloedrijkste Nederlanders (Amsterdam: Meulenhoff, 2006).
