"This paper does not claim to provide an 'ecological perspective' on social capital. Ecology has little to say directly on social capital. But the paper does emphasise social system-ecosystem interactions, along the lines of our recent book. First, let's place social capital in perspective. There is a spectrum of concepts on the social dimensions of sustainability. These include social indicators, as used for example in Robert Allen's new book still in press, and a diversity of concepts of social and cultural wellbeing:
-- equity: fairness, social justice, distributional issues;
-- empowerment: ability of people to exert a degree of control over decisions affecting their lives;
-- sustainable livelihoods: capacity to generate and maintain one's means of living;
-- cultural sustainability: ability to retain cultural identity, and to allow change to be guided in ways consistent with the cultural values of a people;
-- social cohesion: shared values and commitment to a community - as the foundation stone of social order, as used by Jane Jenson and others; and as social capital:
-- social organisational features, such as trust, norms and networks." |
