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. 410 0$aICAS publications series.$pMonographs ;$v2. 606 $aInfrastructure (Economics)$zChina$xCitizen participation 606 $aMigrant labor$zChina$zHong Kong$xSocial conditions 606 $aPoor$zChina$xSocial conditions 607 $aChina$xSocial conditions$y1949- 607 $aChina$xEconomic policy$y1949- 615 0$aInfrastructure (Economics)$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aMigrant labor$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aPoor$xSocial conditions. 676 $a306.095125 700 $aWong$b Sam$0800929 712 12$aInternational Convention of Asia Scholars. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996207959503316 996 $aExploring Unseen Social Capital in Community Participation$91802274 997 $aUNISA
