Friendly relations, social trust and norms of reciprocity ease the living together in a society and encourage people to take part in democratic decision making. This volume examines the differences in levels, causes and consequences of social capital between 22 European countries surveyed in the 2002 European Social Survey. At first glance, social capital differs strongly between countries. Yet the determinants of social capital differ strongly between European people as well. If one takes account of the latter, the former may no longer appear so large. The volume asks whether this is indeed the case so that a similiarity of countries goes along with a diversity of people. To examine this, muliti-level analyses are used in each contribution. 410 0$aInternational comparative social studies ;$vv. 16. 606 $aSocial capital (Sociology)$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xSocial conditions 615 0$aSocial capital (Sociology) 676 $a302.094 701 $aMeulemann$b Heiner$01500367 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782561303321 996 $aSocial capital in Europe$93727017 997 $aUNINA
