Social capital is an asset of their  territorial communities. It is also a precondition for national and local  policies that aim to better the economic base and quality of life for all. This  change is socially diffused, economically sustainable over time, and smart in  its content. A significant stock of social capital facilitates such results  because it links into the process of development planning institutional decision  makers and socioeconomic stakeholders who share trust, solidarity norms, and a  community vision. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the last thirty years, social capital has become a  forceful concept in the social sciences, the subject of many scholarly works and  a topic of keen interest and debate in policy circles. Yet the main focus has  been on defining and measuring social capital, with little attention given to  its value in promoting development policies.Social Capital in Development Planning updates  and advances the debate on social capital through the analysis of the  application of the concept of social capital to programs for sustainable and  smart socioeconomic development; empirical findings; and a new paradigm for  development planning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-11-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349572601\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9781137478016\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 216cm x140cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 267\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47680130973836,"sku":"9781349572601","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349572601.jpg?v=1776575112","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781349572601","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
