Social Capital Of Families In Istocno Sarajevo

Summary/Abstract: The concept of social capital in contemporary sociological theory has proven to be very useful in studying family changes. Social capital represents social processes and networks, values, norms, and understandings that facilitate the cooperation between social actors. One sociological understanding views social capital as the property of the whole social community, and the other considers it to be the property of individuals and their relationships. What is common to all these approaches is that they see family as the key factor in the reproduction of social capital. In this paper, by using the theoretical conception of Pierre Bourdieu, we analyzed the state of social capital of families in the city of Istočno Sarajevo. To most of the families who live in the conditions of long-lasting post-war social crisis, social capital represents a necessary condition for their normal functionings.
