Dear Readers and Colleagues, The Social Capital Foundation publishes today the 9th issue of The International Scope Review. This is part I of a new anthology edited between 2000 and 2003 by Patrick Hunout on the erosion of the social link in the economically advanced countries. Never the link that holds people together had seemed so weak. This book explores this reality and provides explanations for the destructive trends in our societies. The chapters we publish today bear on various phenomena such as suicides, loneliness, the use of drugs, incivility, men-women relationships, and the rise of the new religions. The direct link to the editorial by Patrick Hunout, Didier Le Gall and Brent Shea introducing the book follows: http://www.socialcapital-foundation.org/journal/volume%202003/issue%209/issue9_edito.htm The Social Capital Foundation is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization, which was created in 2002. "Social Capital" is about revitalizing the global cohesiveness of society. The Foundation brings together people and organizations who would like to contribute to a better future by reinforcing the social link between people, as opposed to a more narrow economic focus that has held sway for the past three decades or more. If you feel that you can participate to this objective in one way or another, feel free to contact the Foundation at secretary@socialcapital-foundation.org <mailto:secretary@socialcapital-foundation.org>. Kind regards, The Social Capital Foundation - The International Scope Review PS: If you want to be removed from this mailing list, you can send a blank email to secretary@socialcapital-foundation.org with the mention "PLEASE REMOVE" in the heading line.Thank you.Received on Thursday, 28 August 2003 21:00:09 GMT
