El libro aplica el concepto de capital social a la gestión de organizaciones buscando un desarrollo sustentable, basado en capacidades humanas y actitudes solidarias de sus miembros, antes que en las relaciones de fuerza o los intereses individuales. El capital social se explica como una capacidad para trabajar mediante una red de relaciones de colaboración, caracterizadas por la ayuda mutua, confianza, credibilidad y compromiso con ciertas creencias tras un proyecto compartido sobre bases de equidad. Lazos de reciprocidad que perduran en el tiempo, no para obtener ganancias en el intercambio sino basados en la afinidad de ideas respecto de un proyecto aceptado. Un proyecto que respeta valores éticos y expresa la responsabilidad social de la gestión en su contexto. No es la asociatividad en sí misma o el “hacer juntos” como mecanismo de defensa o forma de mejorar la productividad. El capital social es un rasgo cultural, formado por interacciones sostenidas en el tiempo, donde los procesos educativos son esenciales. Rasgos que no surgen de manera espontánea ni se imponen desde el poder como parte de una estrategia directiva. La capacidad de asociar esfuerzos es limitada en un ambiente de dominación o lucha competitiva, pensando solo en la eficacia. Porque el capital social de una organización, supone compromiso voluntario, interacción confiada y actitud solidaria. Refiere a un entramado o tejido social con fines constructivos, buscando el bienestar general y una mejor calidad de vida en la organización. En ese sentido es una filosofía de gestión. El enfoque del capital social promueve bases de consenso para la amplia comunicación e integración de conocimientos y así atender con mejores posibilidades las demandas de un entorno incierto y cambiante.

It analyses important contexts such as environmental degradation, gender discrimination, and conflicts, where land tenure is currently of critical concern.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

"Here is a 'must-read' for all health promotion researchers and practitioners eager to stay one step ahead of the pack. A panoply of insightful and promising new approaches is presented for consideration and exploration in our contemporary behavioral science arsenal." — M. Elaine Auld, MPH, CHES, Chief Executive Officer, Society for Public Health Education "This book is an essential addition to the health practice and research literature, concentrating on theories that have not been extensively covered elsewhere and that have great currency. It provides an up-to-date rendition on the interplay among contemporary public health concerns, sound public health practice, and the theoretical bases for practice."— Robert M. Goodman, PhD, MPH, Dean and Professor, School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, Indiana University "The authors of Emerging Theories provide vivid descriptions of the state of the science in health promotion and presents an exciting map for future research. Understanding and using theories is the hallmark of an excellent practitioner. Creating and elaborating theories is the mark of an excellent researcher. This text will be very valuable for both." — Noreen M. Clark, PhD, Myron E. Wegman Distinguished University Professor; Director, Center for Managing Chronic Disease, University of Michigan "Emerging Theories captures the dynamic growth in theories of health promotion and illustrates how divergent theoretical perspectives are being integrated into richer explanatory and practice models." — Matthew W. Kreuter, PhD, MPH, Professor of Social Work and Medicine; Director, Health Communication Research Laboratory, Washington University in St. Louis
