Previously the role of social capital - defined as the institutions
and networks of relationships between people, and the associated
norms and values - in programs of poverty alleviation and
development has risen to considerable prominence. 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.
