Although development practitioners have long suspected that social capital does affect the efficiency and quality of most development processes, this book provides the rigorous empirical results needed to confirm that impression and translate it into effective and informed policymaking. It is based on a large volume of collected data, relying equally on quantitative and qualitative research methodologies to establish approaches for measuring social capital and its impact. The book documents the pervasive role of social capital in accelerating poverty alleviation and rural development, facilitating the provision of goods and services, and easing political transition and recovery from civil conflicts.Social capital (Sociology)PovertyEconomic developmentRural developmentSocial capital (Sociology)Poverty.Economic development.Rural development.302Grootaert Christiaan1950-Van Bastelaer ThierryPutnam Robert D.UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910827769303321The role of social capital in development4112229UNINA
