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.
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.

去年被要求看的書(太長+數據太多=不看)今年刷瞭幾個書評瞭事。關於社會資本不同導緻同樣下放權利到南北意大利不同地方政府,皿煮運轉的不同。好像放到我國做實驗也會是差不多的結果嘛,把南北對調一下,我國南北經濟意識各方麵都跟意大利南北是反的。
評分不管其他書理論還是寫作有多難,這本是本學期摺磨我最嚴酷的書T_T,星期六到星期天連續十多個小時邊度邊做筆記,分析數據。
評分writing style is perfect. it's about the decentralization of Italian gov. I didn't know that Italy has so various subcultural groups.

評分精緻,但讀後沒有太大的衝擊力。
