Readings on other
aspects of the relationship between social capital and poverty
Waiting for new, more specific, categories, this section collects,
temporarily in a residual way, readings on other topics related
to the relationship between social capital and poverty. Considered
studies address topics like the role of the state, the relevance
of the informal economy, and the relationship between different
forms of social capital (i.e. bonding, bridging, and linking social
capital) in poverty reduction processes.
The section is under construction: suggestions
and comments are always most welcome.
