Social Capital

Editat de C. Douglas Johnson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 mai 2013
If relationships are the foundation on which social capital is built, then individuals are the stars at the centre of the construct. From there, the linkages are made to either bond or bridge individuals in an interconnected fashion. As connections form, the depth and breadth of ones social capital changes, this may prompt a shift in perspective that offers new and unique illuminations or experiences. While most would agree that social capital emerged out of sociology, it has been extended and has become a core concept in many other disciplines, such as economics, business, political science, social work, health, etc. This collection is illustrative of that growth as the contributions represent a range of disciplines, methodologies, samples of diverse backgrounds, and conclusions. Taking an eye of the beholder approach in conceptualising social capital can be problematic, and caution should be exercised in ensuring that the construct does not become so divergent that its relative importance is lost. Using seminal works that have had a major impact on the construct development and popularity, the beauty of the book is its multidisciplinary, multilevel, mixed-methods, global approach to examining social capital.
