The term "social capital" has become a buzzword with a huge, already diffuse spectrum of application. This should give reason for conceptual and theoretical vigilance. What - in concrete - is the object when "social capital" is mentioned? This question has not been systematically dealt with and even less responsed in a satisfactory degree, although there are many contributions to the discussion of the term. The problem is labelled in the social sciences, but has not been resolved in the context of the specific social-scientific framework. This book takes the neglected metalinguistic perspective. Thus it advances the scientific maturity of the "social capital" debate and contributes to the establishment of a well-founded system in social science terms. It brings up social capital by combining an epistemological and ontological analysis and thus finally develops clarification of the concept. Die Debatte um Sozialkapital ist seit geraumer Zeit in Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik in Mode. Schaut man sich Untersuchungen dazu an, so scheint Sozialkapital für nahezu alles gut zu sein: sei es die Erhöhung des persönlichen Wohlbefindens, die Revitalisierung benachteiligter Stadtquartiere oder die Stärkung der Volkswirtschaft im globalisierten Standortwettbewerb - je mehr Sozialkapital, desto besser! Doch gerade die behauptete enorme Wirkungsbreite sollte zu begrifflicher und theoretischer Wachsamkeit anhalten. Was dient Wissenschaftlern als Gegenstand ihrer Erkenntnisbemühungen, wenn von" Sozialkapital"die Rede ist? Diese Frage klingt banal, ist aber bisher nicht systematisch bearbeitet oder gar in befriedigendem Maße beantwortet worden, obwohl doch zahlreiche Beiträge zur Begriffsdebatte vorliegen. So ist zwar das Problem in den Sozialwissenschaften benannt, doch im Kontext des speziellen sozialwissenschaftlichen Reflexionsrahmens nicht eingelöst worden. Das vorliegende Buch nimmt die bisher vernachlässigte metasprachliche Perspektive ein. Es erhöht damit den wissenschaftlichen Reifegrades der" Sozialkapital"--Debatte und trägt zur Etablierung eines wohlfundierten Systems sozialwissenschaftlicher Begriffe bei. Es bringt Sozialkapital zur Sprache, indem es über eine Kombination einer erkenntnistheoretischen und ontologischen Analyse eine Präzisierung des Objektbereiches erarbeitet.

At a time when governments and policy-makers put so much emphasis on 'the knowledge economy' and the economic value of education, human capital theory has never been more important. However, research in this area is often very technical and therefore not easily accessible to those who wish to use it as a guide to policy formation. This book provides an interface between such research and its potential applications in government, education and business. Reporting on a major research initiative, new findings are presented in a non-technical way on three major themes: measuring the benefits from human capital, applications of the human capital model, and policy interventions. Aimed at academic researchers and professionals concerned with the problems and techniques of human capital theory, it will also be useful for graduate courses on the economics of education to complement standard textbooks.
