Well, a verticle power structure is we have prime minister/president/king on top, then cabinet of ministers, or senate and congress, etc. then it trickles down as smaller and smaller power structures within states, cities: police, DMV, school districts, blah, blah, blah...
The horizontal power structure is essentially none of this, but only the connections between businesses and people. Example of horizontal connections would be E-lance that connects clients in the US with programmers and designers in India, China, Ukraine, Europe, etc.
Care to enlighten me?

Horizontal sounds just the job. Voluntary association, no rule by force.
