Robert D. Putnam is the Peter and Isabel Malkin Professor of Public Policy at Harvard, where he teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses. Professor Putnam is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the British Academy, and past president of the American Political Science Association. In 2006, Putnam received the Skytte Prize, one of the world's highest accolades for a political scientist. Raised in a small town in the Midwest and educated at Swarthmore, Oxford, and Yale, he has served as Dean of the Kennedy School of Government.
He has written fourteen books, translated into twenty languages, including the best-selling Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community, and more recently Better Together: Restoring the American Community, a study of promising new forms of social connectedness. His previous book, Making Democracy Work, was praised by the Economist as "a great work of social science, worthy to rank alongside de Tocqueville, Pareto and Weber." Both Making Democracy Work and Bowling Alone are among the most cited publications in the social sciences worldwide in the last half century.

评分 评分今天看完了从政治学角度研究社会资本问题的名著---《使民主运转起来》,感觉还不错,不光大量的调查资料让人敬佩和信服,但就对问题的分析来说也是非常精辟的。这本书虽然翻译的不是很好,但还是非常容易理解的,得出的结论也很有说服力。本书的缘起是作者抓住意大利开始地...

Why do some democratic governments succeed and others fail? In a book that has received attention from policymakers and civic activists in America and around the world, Robert Putnam and his collaborators offer empirical evidence for the importance of "civic community" in developing successful institutions. Their focus is on a unique experiment begun in 1970 when Italy created new governments for each of its regions. After spending two decades analyzing the efficacy of these governments in such fields as agriculture, housing, and health services, they reveal patterns of associationism, trust, and cooperation that facilitate good governance and economic prosperity.
研究信任、互惠原则和横向关系网络对institution performance的作用。应该可以理解为“民主运作”的道德基础吧
评分从视野格局和经验材料上讲堪称完美。唯一有一个不太对劲之处是微观的机制和宏观的相关之间的联系似乎论证得不够强。微观的社会资本和微观的合作之间的因果机制很清楚,宏观的地区civic tradition和地区治理效率之间的相关也很清楚,但是小的association的作用如何传导到宏观的民主化呢?public-spiritedness&egalitarian value spawned by networks of civic engagement大概是传导带,可是具体怎么传导的没有详细说明。不过当然开创性作品也不能把事情都做完了……
评分Wondering how comparative politics research has descended into downright mediocrity from there.
