Description: This collection tackles the theme of isolation and the breakdown of mediating social institutions. It is, in part, a response to Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone as well as an attempt to create a broader idea of civil society.
Synopsis: "Social Capital is an important crtique that should stimulate further analysis and dicussion of what constitutes community." - New Political Science "The reader emerges with a good sense of the gaps in Putnam's work- or more appropriately in the context of this book, the way in which the 'feelgood' factor of Putnam's work deserves critical analysis."-Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations This collection tackles the theme of isolation and the breakdown of mediating social institutions. It is, in part, a response to Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone as well as an attempt to create a broader idea of civil society. These original essays contribute to the examination of democratic theory and practice, exploring one of the most popular causes of this decline in public trust-social capital. These critical essays are written by specialists and scholars in American politics and American political thought. They utilize diverse methodologies-empirical and philosophical-and multiple perspectives to examine critically the social capital discourse and how it is related to political participation, civic engagement, and American democracy.
