The concept of social capital provides a context which can be used to examine the effects of social relationships on population well-being. This project contributes to this area of sociology in three ways. First, this research provides an integrated theoretical approach to the many definitions of social capital. Second, it extends the application of social capital concepts from the experience of the individual in a community to the behavior of the nation-state in the international neighborhood. Third, this project demonstrates the use of a large multi-source database and advanced macro-statistical methods in addressing social capital issues at the nation-state level of analysis.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The concept of social capital provides a context which can be used to examine the effects of social relationships on population well-being. This project contributes to this area of sociology in three ways. First, this research provides an integrated theoretical approach to the many definitions of social capital. Second, it extends the application of social capital concepts from the experience of the individual in a community to the behavior of the nation-state in the international neighborhood. Third, this project demonstrates the use of a large multi-source database and advanced macro-statistical methods in addressing social capital issues at the nation-state level of analysis.
520 $a The integrated theory of social capital developed in this project includes the three principal perspectives on the creation of social capital; as a result of participation in voluntary organizations (Putnam), as embedded in network ties (Burt and Granovetter), and at the intersection of social structure and social action (Coleman). Three primary mechanisms of social capital are investigated; resource allocation tradeoffs around allocations for security versus welfare, instrumental supports which address resource dependency challenges facing the social actor, and equality of opportunity resulting from normative conformance pressures of membership in the community. The integrated framework can be operationalized at any level of analysis.
520 $a Cross-sectional time series methods are used to determine the relationship of state participation to well-being for some 90 countries over a 29 year period of annual observation. Using life expectancy and infant mortality as measures of well-being, this research finds that state participation in the international neighborhood has a positive effect on population well-being. State participation reduces the level of resources allocated to security versus welfare, increases resources from international trade, and results in more opportunities for women. The database for this project is also used to support a limited comparison of life expectancy and infant mortality between Japan and Brazil over the later part of the 20th Century. This comparison is provided as an example of the type of case study suggested by the theoretical framework developed in this research.
