Community, connectivity and the regional movement in Patagonia: The evolution of social capital in the Aysén Region of Chile
Small rural communities in the Aysén Region of Chile evince a variety of forms and types of social capital.

Nuevas Exclusiones en la Complejidad Social Contemporánea: Un Comentario desde el Paradigma del Capital Social
En el presente articulo se presentan y discuten algunos aspectos de las ponencias presentadas al seminario Nuevas Exclusiones en la Complejidad Social Contemporanea. La discusion se centra en el concepto de capital social
Construyendo capital social comunitario
Por capital social se enriende el conjunto de normas, instituciones y organizaciones que promueven la confianza y la cooperación entre las personas, en las comunidades y en la sociedad en su conjunto. En aquellas formulaciones del paradigma del capital social (y del neoinstitucionalismo económico en que éstas se basan en pane) que se concentran en sus manifestaciones colectivas, se plantea que las relaciones estables de confianza y cooperación pu…
Building community social capital
Social capital means the set of norms, institutions and organizations that promote trust and cooperation among persons in communities and also in wider society. In those formulations of the social capital paradigm (and of the neoinstitutional economics on which they are partly based) which focus on its collective manifestations, it is claimed that stable relationships based on trust and cooperation can reduce transaction costs, produce public goo…
Aportes de ia antropoiogía aplicada al desarrollo campesino
El surgimiento actual de interés en proyectos de desarrollo iural participativo basado en la comunidad campesina difiere de anteriores experiencias similares, y forma parte de una tendencia más amplia a descentralizar la gestión social, a habilitar a los beneficiarios de las políticas sociales y a darles mayor injerencia en su conducción . Para que no se repitan los fracasos de décadas pasadas en los programas destinados a reducir la pobreza rura…

The present surge of interest in participative rural development projects based on peasant communities differs from similar past experiences in that it forms part of a broader tendency to decentralize social management, to enhance the role of the beneficiaries of social policies, and to give them a bigger say in their implementation. In order to avoid repeating the failures of past decades in programmes designed to reduce rural poverty, it is nec…
Indigenous peoples and modernity
Many indigenous leaders and intellectuals in the region are asking them selves how the current rapid spread of free market principles and the process of integration into a single world economy is likely to a ffect their cultures. The answer depends on what we mean by "culture" and what we mean by "modernity
Erroneous theses on youth in the 1990s
Recent proposals aimed at furthering equality of opportunities for young people are often not backed up by detailed empirical information. This article takes issue with some contentions made in diagnoses on this subject, especially regarding formal education and integration into work, and contrasts them with recent information in this respect
Rural social policy in a strategy of sustained development
This article discusses the changes observed during recent years in the social, demographic and occupational fields in the rural world, which, when they are added to the centuries-old problems of the sector, foreshadow severe imbalances in the context of the new modalities of functioning of Latin American economies that arise from the present crisis. It advances the thesis that in most of the countries of the region the solution of the problem of …
Class and culture in the changing peasantry
The author’s main purpose in this study is to demonstrate that the peasantry, while also a category of agricultural producers, may be best understood if analysed as a social class
