Community Psychology Perspectives on Social Capital Theory and Community Development Practice.
Perkins, Douglas D.; Hughey, Joseph; Speer, Paul W.
Journal of the Community Development Society, v33 n1 p33-52 2002
Social capital should be analyzed using an ecological framework that includes individual psychological and behavioral elements and institutional/community elements. Overemphasizing social cohesion dilutes necessary community conflict. Instead, network-bridging to increase power, access, and learning at various levels should be stressed. (Contains 73 references.)
