Conclusions and Policy Implications --Notes --Bibliography --Annex 1 --Annex 2 --IndexThis volume argues that using social capital to eradicate poverty is unlikely to succeed because its mainstream approach mistakenly assumes that social capital necessarily benefits poor people. The inadequacy of that assumption, Sam Wong argues, calls for a reassessment of human motivations, institutional dynamics, and the complexity of structures in social capital building. Proposing a 'pro-poor' perspective, in which poverty-specific outcomes are highlighted, he suggests an exploration of 'unseen' social capital is in order-not only to challenge the mainstream understanding of 'seen' social capital, but to demonstrate the need for everyday cooperation, which is shaped by social norms, influenced by conscious and unconscious motivations, and subject to changes in priority based on livelihood. A useful volume for both policy makers and practitioners, Exploring 'Unseen' Social Capital in Community Participation offers a fresh perspective in thinking about civic and social agency.ICAS publications series.Monographs ;2.Infrastructure (Economics)ChinaCitizen participationMigrant laborChinaHong KongSocial conditionsPoorChinaSocial conditionsChinaSocial conditions1949-ChinaEconomic policy1949-popular sciencewetenschap algemeenInfrastructure (Economics)Citizen participation.Migrant laborSocial conditions.PoorSocial conditions.306.095125Wong Sam800929International Convention of Asia Scholars.UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910146420703321Exploring Unseen Social Capital in Community Participation1802274UNINA
