A tese tem o objetivo de analisar o potencial heurístico do capital social para interpretar o processo de desenvolvimento do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, principalmente nos seus territórios rurais. Além disso, identifica-se a relevância da cultura política para a qualificação da democracia e o empoderamento do cidadão. Utilizou-se o método comparativo onde o capital social é variável independente e o desenvolvimento social e econômico variável dependente. Os dados foram angariados em informações secundárias, além de pesquisas empíricas inéditas realizadas no CORDE Nordeste, Porto Alegre e Ijuí

Abstract:

Is increased access to social capital associated with a lower likelihood of poverty? Using data from a survey of nearly 10,000 residents of Iowa taken in 1994 and again in 2004, this study seeks to understand what types of social capital are associated with higher or lower likelihood of poverty at both the community and individual levels. Results suggest that higher bonding social capital at both levels is associated with a higher likelihood of poverty. The inverse of this relationship is found between bridging social capital and poverty. Although high bonding is generally an asset, when combi

This thesis addresses the lack of literature on rural youth employment prospects. Using data from the British Household Panel Survey and fieldwork conducted in the West Midlands, I ask to what extent is rural location a labour market disadvantage for young people? Social capital, identified as a pertinent concept in the few previous studies, is operationalised in terms of two constituent elements: norms, affecting youth earnings, and networks, determining one’s ability to find work – more so in rural areas than in urban, due to the relative absence of big business, and nepotistic recruitment p

Abstract:

This thesis examines the prospective value of social capital for developmental purposes. It contends that the role that social relationships play in poor actors’ efforts to cope with and move out of poverty needs to be assessed under a dual understanding of social structure, as both the medium and outcome of social action. The study adopts Bourdieu’s ‘theory of practice’ as its main theoretical approach. Actors’ investments in and uses of relationships were analysed in relation to their objective conditions—stocks of capital—and associated practices and strategies. Social capital was operation

Rural America contributes greatly to the American Community, yet this population is often overlooked and underrepresented in most types of education literature.
