خلاصه ماشینی:

The great attention to this new concept is not merely indicative of a theoretical whim or a complex linguistic game, but rather tells of the evolution and emergence of new components in the field of analysis and definition of political-social actions, without which one cannot even achieve a correct, comprehensive, and efficient perception of "power. Generalities The book "Social Capital" contains 19 articles (whether authored or translated) that have been collected, translated, or authored through the efforts of Mr. Kian Tajbakhsh on the subjects of "trust," "democracy," and "development" with a special look at the category of social capital. The nineteen articles of the book are organized into four sections, and an attempt has been made to present, while familiarizing the reader with the concept and theories of social capital, the methods of measuring social capital, its criticisms, and its applications. C. A Critical Approach The growing application of the concept of "social capital" does not imply its absolute acceptance; rather, a significant portion of the produced texts focuses on its modification and critique, the most important of which have been translated and presented in the second part of the work. His critique of the collection of articles in the first part of the book (Bourdieu and Putnam) confirms this meaning, that "social capital" is a one-sided narrative of traditional concepts such as trust. D. Case Studies The last section of the book contains articles that refer to the examination of experiences conducted within the framework of the social capital analytical model.
