History and Institutions in the Rebuilding of Social Capital after Forced Resettlement in the Philippines and Indonesia
比较菲律宾和印度尼西亚两个搬迁安置点,检验历史决定论与制度干预论对社会资本重建的解释力,发现菲律宾案例受制度干预影响大,而印尼案例支持历史决定论。
Resettlement results in the loss of social capital from which poor households can draw resources for sustenance, survival and wellbeing. While Putnam deems social capital formation as pre-determined by a community’s history of civic engagement, the institutional view argues that social capital is generated through the institutions’ interventions. Utilising a comparative approach involving two resettlement sites, one in the Philippines and one in Indonesia, this article presents findings on the explanatory power of these two perspectives. The Philippine case is greatly influenced by the institutional interventions while the Indonesian case testifies to the validity of the theoretical perspective of Putnam.
