The Network The Clinton and Bush Years…

Project Overview This project proposes creating a visualization of the network of presidential cabinet members and advisors for the Clinton and G. W. Bush administrations.

Target Audience Journalists, researchers, and the general public Complex connections exist between politicians, corporations, and other factors Hard to demonstrate a web of influence or the “revolving door” between government and industry using text Visualization tools offer a means for clearly demonstrating these connections to people uninterested in combing through detailed data

Typical Display of Govt/Corp Connections

Cabinet Data For our proof of concept, it was easier to compile data ourselves than find a source Focused Clinton and G.W. Bush cabinets For each cabinet member: Biographical (date and state of birth) Educational (all schools attended or affiliated with) Work histories (public & private) Political (party affiliation)

Comparable Visualizations TheyRule.net State-Machine.net Visual Complexity: The Political Blogosphere and the 2004 Election

They Rule Relationships of the US ruling class focusing on the boards of some of the most powerful U.S. companies, which share many of the same directors.

State Machine Members of senate and sources of campaign funding. machine.org

The Blogosphere The degree of interaction between liberal and conservative blogs in the 2004 election
