Abstract

Viewed as a nonfinancial resource residing in social relations, the concept of social capital has universal appeal. Given China’s distinct culture and tradition, however, whether and how social capital in China works distinctively relative to the West in terms of its origins, functions and impacts remain to be determined. This study focuses on the application of the Western-sourced social capital theory in China. We analyze articles published between 1996 and 2018 to map out the major findings in literature regarding the differences in social capital between China and the West, and identify questions for future research.
