This timely volume puts emphasis on the effect of social capital on
everyday life: how the routines of daily life lead people to get
involved in their communities. Focussing on its micro-level causes
and consequences, the book's international contributors argue that
social capital is fundamentally concerned with the value of social
networks and about how people interact with each other.
The book suggests that different modes of participation have
different consequences for creating - or destroying - a sense of
community or participation. The diversity of countries,
institutions and groups dealt with - from Indian castes to Dutch
churches, from highly competent 'everyday makers' in Scandinavia to
politics-avoiding Belgian women and Irish villagers - offers
fascinating case studies, and theoretical reflections for the
present debates about civil society and democracy.
