This volume provides a collection of critical new perspectives on
social capital theory by examining how social values, power
relationships, and social identity interact with social capital.
This book seeks to extend this theory into what have been largely
under-investigated domains, and, at the same time, address
long-standing, classic questions in the literature concerning the
forms, determinants, and consequences of social capital. Social
capital can be understood in terms of social norms and networks. It
manifests itself in patterns of trust, reciprocity, and
cooperation. The authors argue that the degree to which and the
different ways in which people exhibit these distinctively social
behaviours depend on how norms and networks elicit their values,
reflect power relationships, and draw on their social identities.
This volume accordingly adopts a variety of different concepts and
measures that incorporate the variety of contextually-specific
factors that operate on social capital formation. In addition, it
adopts an interdisciplinary outlook that combines a wide range of
social science disciplines and methods of social research. Our
objective is to challenge standard rationality theory explanations
of norms and networks which overlook the role of values, power, and
identity. This volume appeals to researchers and students in
multiple social sciences, including economics, sociology, political
science, social psychology, history, public policy, and
international relations, that employ social capital concepts and
methods in their research. It can be seen as a set of new
extensions of social capital theory in connection with its themes
of social values, power, and identity that would advance the
scholarly literature on social norms and networks and their impact
on social change and public welfare.
