Social capital is arguably the most critical idea to emerge in the
social sciences in the last two decades. Emphasizing the importance
of social networks, communication, and the symbolic and material
exchanges that strengthen communities, social capital has been the
subject of an expansive body of literature. Social Capital,
Diversity, and the Welfare State represents a landmark
consideration of the diverse meanings, causal foundations, and
positive and negative consequences of social capital, with a
particular focus on its role in mitigating or enhancing social
inequalities. This collaborative and interdisciplinary collection
brings together the work of economists, political scientists, and
sociologists. Their contributions address a range of both empirical
and theoretical issues related to social capital: the centrality of
interpersonal and political trust; the bridging and bonding
functions of networks; the relationship between social capital and
inequality; the extent of social capital's fungibility in terms of
social advantage and disadvantage; and its implications for both
individuals and public policy. Welfare State will be essential
reading for students and scholars undertaking research on the
conceptualization, operation, sources, and consequences of social
capital in Canadian society.
