Social Capital: A Review and Critique

Abstract

Abstract SOCIAL capital—broadly, social networks, the reciprocities that arise from them, and the value of these for achieving mutual goals—has become an influential concept in debating and understanding the modern world. It features in much scholarly discourse, across a variety of disciplines; it also rever berates through the politics of the centre-left, as well as in new thinking about international economic development and social renewal. An idea that draws attention to the importance of social relationships and values such as trust in shaping broader attitudes and behaviour is clearly highly attractive to many people.
