Collective Action, Common Property, and Social Capital in South India: An Anthropological Commentary (2006, background): “A single-moment survey cannot help but produce a statistical artifact that freezes a dynamic set of relations and permits confused causality or that quantifies social connections in ways that misrepresent their significance (see Harriss 2001).”
Knowledge, learning and development: a post-rationalist approach (2006, background): “For example, discourses of ‘social capital’ may be framed by the World Bank (Fine, 2000; Harriss, 2002; McNeill, 2004), but the ways in which social capital is conceived and practised ‘on the ground’ is not simply the product of the Bank as an authoritative centre.”
Left to their own devices? Community self-help between alternative development and neo-liberalism (2005, background): “Local solutions and macro structures The prevailing de-politicization of self-help approaches for reasons of apparent pragmatism (cf. Harriss, 2001) is expressed by Siddiqui and Khan in an exemplary way: The [Hyderabad Incremental Development] scheme has shown that even without bringing about basic…”
The Handbook of Neoliberalism (2016, background): “The case of social capital may be illustrative in that sense since it has become a prominent part of development thinking during this period and the promotion of social capital is an aim of many development policies around the world (Harriss 2001).”

The (im)possibility of development studies (2007, background): “Harriss takes aim at the decision of the World Bank in the mid-1990s to position the previously obscure and poorly understood notion of social capital as ‘the missing link’ in development (Harriss 2001: 2, citing Grootaert 1997).”
The “Good Governance” Concept Revisited (2006, methodology): “This assertion is based on prior analysis by several observers (Harriss 2002; Marquette 2001; Nelson 1995).”
Unpacking social capital in Economic Development: How social relations matter (2007, background): “…that the relationship is often negative, that is, social capital appears to be less effective in situations of inequality, control, and exclusion (Edwards and Foley 1997; Baron et al. 2000; Fine 2001; Harriss 2001; Molyneux 2002; Taylor and Leonard 2002; Dolfsma and Dannreuther 2003; Field 2003).”
Community Driven Development, Collective Action and Elite Capture in Indonesia (2007, background): “However, the conceptualization as well as the ultimate contribution of social capital to development remains a contentious issue in social science (Bourdieu, 1986; Coleman, 1988; Fine, 2001; Loury, 1977; Portes, 1998) and in public policy (Harriss, 2001; Lin, 2001; Mayer, 2003; Mayer and Rankin, 200”
Special Economic Zones and Accumulation by Dispossession in India (2011, background): “5 However, while Harvey offers a lucid reconceptualization of primitive accumulation, he is not the first to argue that it is a recursive rather than originary feature of capitalism.
