Presenting varied experiences of the interaction between social capital and the democratic functioning of a variety of institutions in India, the essays in this volume subject the notion of social capital to close and thorough scrutiny. The critique of social capital that this volume provides is strongly anchored in empirical case studies of three kinds:
- field-based micro-studies in rural areas
- sectoral studies in the areas of joint forest management, environment and education
- macro-studies which relate indicators of human development to dimensions of social capital
The contributors explore central issues concerning the inter-relationship between social capital and democracy. Additionally, they address important questions such as: Does social capital inhere in some communities and associations and not in others? Can it be constructed and, if so, which are the agencies best suited to do so?
