Putnam Inferences
A civic community / social capital is necessary for democracy
Social capital more cause of economic success than consequence
Variation in institutional performance better explained by different amounts of social captial
Social capital built over time and path dependent
Different social endowments can be traced back to regime divergences in the 13th Century
Criticisms
Indicators don't measure democratic performance but policy performance
Indicators of institutional performance are not measuring one underlying concept
Correlation between civic community and institutional performance break down if run serparetely from north to south
Possible omitted variable bias, ignore role of political and state building strategies
Historical Narrative Unconvincing
Why middle ages source of difference
What happened in the middle ages?
If civic traditions are created what explains their creation
Tarrow argues policy performance can be achieved under authoritarian regimes
Levi poor conceptualisation, operationalization and mesaurement of civic involvement
Fails to acknowledge other sources that may contradict his conclusions
Historical process tracing
Corruption not taken into account
Social capital beyond Italy
Studies tend to be case specific not cross case
No one message emerging from cases
Paxton - trust in associational life not ncessarily tightly linked in US and Britain or move the same way over time
Schnedier - Some evidence that participation and social capital can be shaped by institutions
