ABSTRACT
As we focus on the Uyghur lobby, which is led by the WUC and its member organizations around the world, it is necessary to empirically identify the key actors and map out their global networks. In section 3.1, we introduce the data sets for our study and its methodology. In section 3.2, SNA is used to visualize the transnational linkages of the WUC. Section 3.3 investigates which actors are the most central and which are more marginal in networks of the WUC. Section 3.4 examines Uyghur organizations in Australia to demonstrate that the WUC is indeed the umbrella organization of Uyghur organizations around the world. Section 3.5 presents a summary of findings.
