Gli studi sul
capitale sociale in Africa
Questa sezione raccoglie paper su capitale sociale e sviluppo in
Africa. Le letture consigliate sono catalogate per paese. La sezione
inaugura una nuova serie di aggiornamenti del sito che porteranno
alla costruzione di una reading list, chiamata "Geografia degli
studi sul capitale sociale", in cui le letture consigliate
- soprattutto studi empirici - saranno classificate in base all'area
geografica di cui si occupano. L'idea è offire ai visitatori
la possibilità di condurre le loro ricerche bibliografiche
secondo una nuova chiave di lettura di tipo "geografico".
Particolare attenzione sarà riservata a India, Italia e Stati
Uniti, tre casi di studio molto popolari nella letteratura empirica
sul capitale sociale.
Come tutte le altre parti del sito, questa sezione è il
frutto incidentale del mio lavoro di ricerca e ovviamente non può
essere esaustiva: segnalazioni
e commenti quindi sono sempre molto graditi.
