Abstract

Based on Actor-Network-Theory (ANT), this articles aims to analyse the origins and development of graphene R&D policies in Korea. At first, we have investigated the formation and variation of various actors through the application of the four steps of “translation” of ANT which is process of an actor aggregation: problematisation, interessement, enrolment, and mobilisation. Furthermore, we select three latent variables which represent the hybrid of networks, just like, media attention, government investment, and R&D achievements and look at the interaction of them with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. In conclusion, this study presents a new research methodology that simulates ANT in connection with actual model construction and provides interesting implications that the media public sphere needs to be diversified and discussion of obstacles to rebel against the graphene network needs to be abundant.
