Globalization, social capital, and inequality : Contested concepts, contested experiences

'The editors have managed amazingly well to bring coherence in a wide range of topics and approaches connecting globalization and social capital.'- Irene van Staveren, Journal of Economic Issues. This volume investigates the relationship between globalization, inequality and social capital, and reveals that although strongly related, these ideas are also highly contested. The authors elucidate the interactions between these concepts, looking in detail at the conflicts and competitiveness which can arise at both the national and organizational level.
