AZUERO RODRIGUEZ, Andrés Ramiro. Social Capital and Social Inclusion: Some Elements for Social Policy in Colombia. cuad.adm. [online]. 2009, n.41, pp.151-168. ISSN 0120-4645.

The topic of the social capital turns out to be central in the analysis of the elements that can promote conditions of development and social inclusion, for its implications of economic, social, political and cultural order. This analysis necessarily passes through the examination of the diverse conceptions on social capital and social inclusion and the experiences and local learning in the topic. In this sense, the purpose of this document is to emphasize some elements of the social capital that can be useful to the social policy to generate social inclusion spaces. For this, in the first part some theoretical approximations of the social capital are explored. In the second section a theoretical approach is revised on the concepts of social exclusion and inclusion. In the third part, general lines of the social policy in Colombia and Valle del Cauca are outlined and finally, in the fourth paragraph, some elements of social capital that can play a role in the social policy to propitiate social inclusion are identified.

Keywords : Social Capital; Social Inclusion; Social Policy.
