Bu çalışma ağ yaklaşımının kronolojik gelişim aşamalarını ve temel ağ kuramlarını derlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın ilk bölümünde 1930’lardan günümüze ağ yaklaşımının tarihsel gelişimi, bu süreçte alana katkıda bulunanlar ve yaklaşımın önemli aşamaları derlenmektedir. İkinci bölümde ise ağları inceleyen ve saha uygulamalarından doğan en popüler mikro ağ kuramları olan Coleman’ın ağ kapalılığı, Burt’ın yapısal boşlukları, Granovetter’in zayıf bağların gücü ve son olarak Milgram’ın küçük dünya fenomeni değerlendirilmektedir. Bu kuramların benzerlik ve farklılıklarına da yer verilmektedir. Bu makalenin Türk alan yazınında ağlarla ilgili yapılacak araştırmalarda literatüre kaynak sağlaması hedeflenmektedir.
