Sommario/riassunto

Jenny M. Lewis establishes a set of parameters for social capital that help us examine how policy can increase cooperation between organisations and individuals, and how a social capital framework can also help us understand the public policy process. This is an invaluable text for researchers, policy-makers and students who are interested in how social capital theories can be integrated into grassroots policy making both in Australia and overseas.
