Analytical shortcomings in approaches to social capital

Among the conceptual shortcomings displayed by approaches to social capital, special mention may be made of their insufficient analysis of its links with other concepts such as power— and especially gender— related inequalities, clientage and the existence of negative social capital, which can delay or inhibit the positive effects of social programmes and projects. Furthermore, because of its wide conceptual diversity, the definition and measurement of common indicators continues to be a pending task.
