| Note(s) | "PRI Project. Social capital as a public policy tool".--Title page. "The central idea at issue is that our networks of social contacts may represent another form of capital resource, beyond physical and human capital, with important potential returns on investment... The main hypothesis underlying the Montréal conference was that the integration process for immigrants and the management of diversity more broadly is an area where the generation of networks of social contacts may potentially play a key role in achieving a number of desired outcomes."--Page 1.
