Abstract

This paper seeks to broaden our understanding of interorganizational phenomena by focusing on the mandated basis of interorganizational relations, which is distinguished from the exchange and power-dependency bases. In particular, the paper defines and elaborates upon a subset of mandated interorganizational relations-the legal-political network. Five characteristics of the legal-political subset are identified based upon the author's prior empirical research. Avenues for future research are cited.
