Perception of Corruption and the Erosion of Social Capital in Croatia 1995-2003
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper analyses the changes at the level of social capital (SC) in Croatia during the period of 1995 to 2003. Starting from theoretical and empirical arguments which link SC with economic growth, social development and political stability, the author uses data from two research projects carried out on representative national samples (World Values Survey – Croatia 1995 and South East European Social Survey, 2003), in order to establish and discuss changes at the SC level. The conducted analyses show a decrease in social capital, which cannot be solely attributed to the situational effect present during the 1995 survey. The paper analyses the suitability of the standard macro approach to measuring SC in the transitional context, but also points out the influence of perception of the extent of corruption on the negative dynamics of SC.
