Drawing on primary research within voluntary sports clubs in the UK
and secondary analysis of the wider international literature on
social capital, this text focuses on the micro-processes of social
capital development and how they play out in specific social
settings. In so doing, it adds to existing research by developing a
rich, contextualised, process-based view of social capital in
action. Critically reviewing theoretical and empirical literature
on social capital, the book highlights the key current debates. The
empirical core of the book draws on ethnographic observation over
18 months at voluntary sports clubs in the UK, including in-depth
interviews with sports club members and organisers. The text
explicitly seeks to set this empirical work in its wider context,
by considering the findings in relation to other international
studies of social capital in both sports clubs and other types of
organisation. The book draws on international research from a whole
range of countries: UK, USA, Australia, Canada, Norway, Denmark,
Netherlands, Japan, Vanuatu, Czech Republic, Germany, and many
others. The book establishes a transferable, process-based
understanding of how social capital develops - both within sports
clubs and beyond. This is an illuminating reading for policymakers,
practitioners, and researchers with an interest in the sociology of
sport, sport development, sport management, sport policy, social
theory, social policy, or social networks.
