9 Broadening the Basis of Social Capital in Japan
Takashi Inoguchi
This chapter examines the development of social capital in Japan over the past 50 years. It argues that Japan’s social capital steadily increased under democracy. Social capital, accumulated in particularistic face-to-face and group settings, has become broader and more individualistic.
Keywords: Japan, social capital, democracy
