Social capital and participation
Social
Capital, community governance and political participation
Social Capital Gateway is under revision. This section is still
incomplete and under construction. Needless to say, comments and
suggestions are welcome.
If you like to be informed on the completing of this section, type
your email address here.
This section is devoted to the relationship
between social capital and civicness. According to the political
science literature, social capital fosters a more active participation
to community governance and stimulates political participation.
Suggested readings are closely related to those collected in the
section on Social capital and
the institutions' performance.
