Product Description
Leading scholars from a variety of disciplines present groundbreaking new research dedicated to exploring the still-undiscovered value of social capital. The book employs a self-consciously multi-disciplinary approach to address two objectives: reaching out and reaching in. Through theoretical and empirical scholarship, the authors explore the many contexts in which the phenomenon can have impact. In effect, social capital research reaches out to issues of knowledge, norms, well-being, civic participation and educational achievement. Second, the authors investigate further the many connections between the core themes of social capital and the pillars on which it rests, including structural networks, relationships and trust. This book is fundamentally about bridging - bridging across disciplines, units of analysis, and themes.
