This paper analyses how conflict impacts social capital. The existing
literature suggests that the social capital of a society which has experienced
conflict or military operations will not be shaped in the same way
as the social capital in an area where there were no such actions. Yet, there
is disagreement on what the specific effects of a conflict are. This paper
seeks to address this puzzle by comparing levels of social capital in Serbia
and Poland. The research presented in this paper was conducted among two
groups; the first, a group of respondents including young Serbs (18-24 years
old) who, during the 1990s, survived hostilities on the territory of their country
or grew up surrounded by people who were participating in military actions.
The second group includes young Poles (aged 18-24), who as children, grew
up in a society, which from 1995-2002 did not experience either conflict or
military action. Significant research results include the following: in a society
...in which no conflict has occurred in the past, there is a higher level of social
and political participation; the formation of bridging communities, trust
in social actors from outside the immediate family, trust in institutions, and
a greater sense of security in the neighbourhood.
