Robert D. Putnam is the Peter and Isabel Malkin Professor of Public Policy at Harvard, where he teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses. Professor Putnam is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the British Academy, and past president of the American Political Science Association. In 2006, Putnam received the Skytte Prize, one of the world's highest accolades for a political scientist. Raised in a small town in the Midwest and educated at Swarthmore, Oxford, and Yale, he has served as Dean of the Kennedy School of Government.
He has written fourteen books, translated into twenty languages, including the best-selling Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community, and more recently Better Together: Restoring the American Community, a study of promising new forms of social connectedness. His previous book, Making Democracy Work, was praised by the Economist as "a great work of social science, worthy to rank alongside de Tocqueville, Pareto and Weber." Both Making Democracy Work and Bowling Alone are among the most cited publications in the social sciences worldwide in the last half century.
Why do some democratic governments succeed and others fail? In a book that has received attention from policymakers and civic activists in America and around the world, Robert Putnam and his collaborators offer empirical evidence for the importance of "civic community" in developing successful institutions. Their focus is on a unique experiment begun in 1970 when Italy created new governments for each of its regions. After spending two decades analyzing the efficacy of these governments in such fields as agriculture, housing, and health services, they reveal patterns of associationism, trust, and cooperation that facilitate good governance and economic prosperity.
用社会资本的概念来解释意大利南部北部不同的民主发展情况,中国一方面是君主专制,这是没有社会资本的,但一方面我们又强调家族概念,社会资本又是很强的,所以我们一段时期内的商业是发展很快的,家族企业很多,但民主精神却由于几千年的皇权压制没有发展起来,导致现在公民...

評分1970年,意大利开始实施一项制度改革,将中央政府手中的权力下放到地区政府。作者借由这个契机进行了一段长达20多年的研究,以期确定地区自治制度究竟是否能有所成效。 研究结果展现了一系列耐人寻味的事实: 首先,人们在政治主张上趋向于中间派,不可调和的冲突大幅下降。 其...
研究信任、互惠原則和橫嚮關係網絡對institution performance的作用。應該可以理解為“民主運作”的道德基礎吧

评分# 如果不是對civic tradition感興趣,這本書可以花三個小時就讀完。經驗材料的編排以當時的標準來看算精細,但是給人感覺是硬套上去的,講曆史淵源沒寫齣活潑勁兒來。這本書還是比較少強調civic tradition對於發展和民主起作用的conditionality,不過civic tradition的幾個要點,平等、包容、替彆人考慮等等,確實就是民主得以運轉的關鍵。現代社會不一定意味著community到society,作者試圖說明在現代社會裏可以建立基於自由平等關係的community。我很喜歡這個理想,今後可以自稱communitarian liberals,哈哈。
