用社会资本的概念来解释意大利南部北部不同的民主发展情况,中国一方面是君主专制,这是没有社会资本的,但一方面我们又强调家族概念,社会资本又是很强的,所以我们一段时期内的商业是发展很快的,家族企业很多,但民主精神却由于几千年的皇权压制没有发展起来,导致现在公民...

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.
methodological innovation; explanatory variable, civic community; subnational variation; historical legacy; yet, not necessarily make democracy work, but make institutions work, create a responsive and effective institution.
评分有一阵导师相当迷恋,学部生的小太妹和院生逢人就推荐。这两年突然就不知道为何就突然从书单上取消了。。。
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……
评分看着都这么累 真研究起来得有多烦
