It has achieved considerable international currency across the social sciences through the very different work of Pierre Bourdieu in France and James Coleman and Robert Putnam in the United States, and has been widely taken up within politics and sociology as an explanation for the decline in social cohesion and community values in western societies. It has also been adopted by policy makers, particularly in international governmental bodies such as the World Bank. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fully revised third edition of \u003ci\u003eSocial Capital\u003c\/i\u003e provides a thorough overview of the intense and fast-moving debate surrounding this subject.
