Social Capital in Asian Studies

This section collects papers, already listed in other parts of the reading list, having in common a focus on topics related to social capital and development in Asia. Suggested readings are catalogued according to the particular country they refer to. This section is a further step in the building of a new reading list, called "The Geography of Social Capital Studies", aiming to present a new perspective on social capital studies collected in the Social Capital Gateway. It will group papers, often already listed in other parts of the web site, cataloguing them according to the particular country on which their main focus is devoted. The idea is to offer readers the possibility to carry out their bibliographical searches also according to geographical criteria.
