Abstract

Funding information EU's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, Grant/Award Number: 833496 Abstract While there is still a vast body of scholarly research in crisis and disaster management that considers social capital an asset for lessening negative impacts from crises, this paper investigates an underexplored aspect of social capital—its microlevel positive and negative instances in the crisis response—a quite neglected phase of the crisis management cycle when it comes to studying the role of social capital. To underline social capital's double‐ edged aspects, this paper draws from the handful of studies that focus on individual social capital in crisis response, to systematize their findings according to bonding, bridging, and linking social capital and positive and negative impacts. In addition, the paper considers these findings to analyze the 2011 Utøya terrorist attack in Norway, to uncover new positive and negative effects of individual social capital, thus contributing to pushing the research agenda toward a more critical appraisal of individual social capital.

危机应对中个人社会资本的批判性评估

欧盟“地平线2020”研究与创新计划资助/奖励编号:虽然在危机和灾害管理方面仍有大量的学术研究认为社会资本是减轻危机负面影响的资产，但本文调查了社会资本未被充分探索的方面-危机应对中的微观层面的积极和消极实例-当涉及到研究社会资本的作用时，危机管理周期的一个相当被忽视的阶段。为了强调社会资本的双刃剑，本文借鉴了少数关注危机应对中的个人社会资本的研究，根据社会资本与积极和消极影响的联系、桥梁和联系，将他们的研究结果系统化。此外，本文还将这些发现运用到2011年挪威乌特约亚恐怖袭击事件的分析中，以揭示个人社会资本的新的积极和消极影响，从而有助于推动对个人社会资本的更批判性评价的研究议程。

期刊介绍： Scholarship on risk, hazards, and crises (emergencies, disasters, or public policy/organizational crises) has developed into mature and distinct fields of inquiry. Risk, Hazards & Crisis in Public Policy (RHCPP) addresses the governance implications of the important questions raised for the respective fields. The relationships between risk, hazards, and crisis raise fundamental questions with broad social science and policy implications. During unstable situations of acute or chronic danger and substantial uncertainty (i.e. a crisis), important and deeply rooted societal institutions, norms, and values come into play. The purpose of RHCPP is to provide a forum for research and commentary that examines societies’ understanding of and measures to address risk,hazards, and crises, how public policies do and should address these concerns, and to what effect. The journal is explicitly designed to encourage a broad range of perspectives by integrating work from a variety of disciplines. The journal will look at social science theory and policy design across the spectrum of risks and crises — including natural and technological hazards, public health crises, terrorism, and societal and environmental disasters. Papers will analyze the ways societies deal with both unpredictable and predictable events as public policy questions, which include topics such as crisis governance, loss and liability, emergency response, agenda setting, and the social and cultural contexts in which hazards, risks and crises are perceived and defined. Risk, Hazards & Crisis in Public Policy invites dialogue and is open to new approaches. We seek scholarly work that combines academic quality with practical relevance. We especially welcome authors writing on the governance of risk and crises to submit their manuscripts.
