Gender and Social Capital (Gender Politics--Global Issues)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

Since the publication of Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone, there has been much scholarly literature devoted to the concept of social capital. However, only a small portion of that literature is devoted to its relationship with gender. In Gender and Social Capital, leading scholars-including Pippa Norris, Ron Inglehart, and Theda Skocpol-provide an in-depth analysis of two fundamental and hitherto neglected questions: What can gender tell us about social capital? And what can social capital tell us about women and politics? Gender and Social Capital is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between gender and civic engagement.
