Kustantamon esittely
The second chapter documents if participation in microcredit providing organizations solidifies, perpetuates, and even fosters relationships (i.e. social capital) forged between women within groups or between groups in the research study sites. Microcredit programmes are based on social collateral mechanism, in which one client stands as another's guarantor. An individual poor woman cannot take a loan from microcredit organizations simply by asking for one. As a condition of receiving credit she has to be a member of a group and come to the centre for weekly installments. The author's interest lies in exploring whether microcredit membership and its collateral mechanisms facilitate social networks, norms of reciprocity, collective identity, action among the borrowers, and political participation of women in the rural areas. Whether the group principle works as an instrumental strategy of microcredit organizations for disciplining borrowers and recovering credit installments within due time has been invested. Analysis is made of how the social collateral mechanism, poverty, competition for limited resources and insecurity erode the web of social connectedness and fabric of social trust
