Una delle maggiori controversie generate dal concetto di capitale sociale riguarda la relazione tra reti sociali, fiducia, e beni collettivi (Newton 1997; Erickson 1998; Mutti 1998; Portes 1998; Foley e Edwards 1999; Pizzorno 1999; Trigilia 1999). In un noto passaggio Robert Putnam ha sottolineato il forte legame tra questi elementi, in particolare, tra l'integrazione dei cittadini in reti di tipo associativo e la diffusione di sentimenti di fiducia generalizzata: «… la vita è più semplice in una comunità che può contare su ampie riserve di capitale sociale… reti di impegno civico facilitano il consolidamento di norme di reciprocità generalizzata tra i cittadini ed incoraggiano l'emergere di una fiducia diffusa all'interno del corpo sociale» (1995a, 67).

Summary

Summary

Drawing upon survey data from over one thousand active members of associations in Lombardy, 1993, the article explores the relationship between social capital and trust in a range of political and social institutions. Social capital is operationalized as the set of linkages individuals develop through their past and present organizational memberships. While ties to catholic associations consistently facilitate institutional trust, ties to «new» social movements tend to discourage it. Altogether, however, no consistent relationship is found between associational social capital and institutional trust, as linkages to different associational milieus turn out to facilitate trust in specific institutions, but not in others. Moreover, persons who rely on larger amounts of social capital, because of the intensity and/or the length of their commitment, are found to be less trustful than those who don't, unless they play prominent roles in their associations. Accordingly, the capacity of associations to generate bonding social capital does not reflect in a similar capacity to create bridging capital, linking associations to institutions. Trust in the latter is still mainly dependent on value orientations.
