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.

從政治製度的變革入手,考察意大利各地區製度績效,發現南北差異,導入公民性、公民性研究,追溯中世紀曆史,城市共和國遺産作用遠大於其他因素。首倡政治發展中的社會資本研究。規範與實證研究功力相當。
評分 評分Web 2.0與民主績效 ---讀帕特南《使民主運轉起來》有感 剛看到書名“使民主運轉起來”的時候就有點不太明白,看完纔知道民主運轉講得是民主績效,換種說法,即按書中所說一個好的民主的政府不僅需要考慮它的公民的需求(即,迴應性),而且要對這...
評分今天看完瞭從政治學角度研究社會資本問題的名著---《使民主運轉起來》,感覺還不錯,不光大量的調查資料讓人敬佩和信服,但就對問題的分析來說也是非常精闢的。這本書雖然翻譯的不是很好,但還是非常容易理解的,得齣的結論也很有說服力。本書的緣起是作者抓住意大利開始地...

因研究civic society細細讀瞭兩天。研究political culture的經典範本,討論civic traditions對institutional performance的作用,理論格局和實證的對接做的很好,但似乎並沒有排除economic development對civic associations的影響,最後落迴到communitarianism時也不能論證liberalism就不會帶來civic bonds.
評分有一陣導師相當迷戀,學部生的小太妹和院生逢人就推薦。這兩年突然就不知道為何就突然從書單上取消瞭。。。
評分與其說是一本民主和政治學的經典著作,不如說是社會科學方法論的典範作品。其在智識上的討論頗有些淺嘗輒止,但確實找對瞭問題——這也得益於作者相對寬闊的視野和智識上的滋養。另外,他也提供瞭一個範例,如何將思想界的問題與實證對接,如何同時貢獻到學科研究和地域研究。它在學科史和方法上的地位,應當是大於這本書的內容本身的。
