Abstract

ABSTRACT This article analyses the role of social capital in territorial development by investigating the case of a post-industrial territory in France. We use semi-structured interviews with actors in the territory that are linked through a cluster network. The results are structured according to three dimensions of social capital (relational, cognitive and structural) and provide insights for policymakers and members of local business networks. Our study reveals micro-economic factors that lead to social capital formation in a specific territory and sheds light on the impact of social capital on territorial development.
