Social Capital in the Balkans
The Missing link was a workshop organized by CPS and the Social Inclusion Research Group of the Blue Bird Agenda for Civil Society in South-East Europe Project.  It was held in Cluj-Napoca in January-February 2003 and it provided an opportunity for policymakers, NGOs and academic researchers to discuss the practical and conceptual merit of social capital for understanding recent developments in the Balkan area.  Sessions explored the controversies over its meaning and application, the links between social capital and the development of civil society, its application in lesser-known fields such as administrative reform, as well some of the dangers of an uncritical promotion of social capital as a public good.
