Sociability, Social Capital, and Community Development

Sociability, Social Capital, and Community Development
Author: Ian Gillespie Cook
Publisher: Springer
Total Pages: 144
Release: 2014-11-10
Genre: Social Science
ISBN: 3319114840

This book provides a critical understanding of contemporary issues within global society and how these relate to six case study examples (UK, USA, China, India, South Africa, Bangladesh, and Japan). The authors draw on their diverse experience to explore four major themes of contemporary relevance: overall aging of societies; governance and institutions; emergency services and public health provisions; and community activism and involvement. The key issues within the book--sociability, social capital, and community development--are examined in the context of an ever increasing aging world. The authors' sense of optimism is linked to growing evidence that community activism is on the rise and can effectively plug the gap between public need and provision of service.
