Aiuto allo sviluppo, società civile, capitale sociale e riduzione della povertà

Questa sezione raccoglie lavori che affrontano la relazione tra i programmi di aiuto allo sviluppo e alcune forme di capitale sociale, con particolare attenzione per le reti di relazioni sociali e le organizzazioni non governative espressione della società civile. Le analisi teoriche e gli studi di caso qui presentati enfatizzano sia la capacità della cooperazione di stimolare i processi partecipativi e l'affermazione della società civile, sia il ruolo delle reti sociali e delle organizzazioni non governative nel successo dei programmi di riduzione della povertà e aiuto allo sviluppo.
La sezione è in costruzione: sono graditi suggerimenti e segnalazioni.
