The Promises of a New Social Capital Agenda
指出社会资本研究中的两大陷阱：盲目相信社会资本能解决集体行动问题，以及忽视社区内部紧密社会关系的复杂性。通过结合发展微观经济学和人类学视角，提出更有前景的研究议程。
Some key pitfalls in social capital research stem from an uncritical belief in social capital as the solution to collective action problems, and a tendency to regard tight social relations within communities as an unproblematic field. In the effort to engage with these limitations and provide better insights into real-world development problems and solutions, the article argues for a more promising agenda. It does so by combining development microeconomics' insights on the determinants of trust and the uneven effects of social networks, with nuanced anthropological approaches to the context-dependent features of social relations and the role of status and power.
