outcomes’, ISUMA: Canadian Journal of Policy Research, Vol. 2, No. 10,
pp. 11–17 (Spring 2001), emphasis in the original.
13 For example, surveys recording levels of trust or neighbourliness are taken to
stand for the social capital of a given area, neighbourhood or even nation (e.g.
R. Putnam [ed.], Democracies in Flux: The Evolution of Social Capital in
Contemporary Society [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2002]). But, for an
individual resident or citizen, that social capital only has any value if they know
whom they can trust or rely on, when and under what conditions. Cf. J. Coleman,
‘Social capital in the creation of human capital’, American Journal of Sociology,
Vol. 94, pp. S95–120 (1988); M. Foley and R. Edwards, ‘Is it time to disinvest in
social capital?’, Journal of Public Policy, Vol. 19, No. 2, pp. 199–231 (1999).
