Abstract
Bridging social capital is vital for regional development as it is supporting the collaboration among regional stakeholders and other involved actors. While the academic discussion on social capital started more than one century ago with first contributions from Hanifan (1916), there is still a lack of tools in the real world when it gets down to identifying and activating social capital. This is true for bonding as well as bridging social capital. Particularly related to stakeholder participation in regional development projects matters of emerging social capital, like identifying, activating and managing it, are underexplored so far. In the present paper, qualitative and quantitative data are used to complement each other for illustrating emerging social capital in a setting of collaborating regional stakeholders. Empirically this paper is using data from 10 different regional development project cases in a setting of regional stakeholder collaboration in a rural cross-border region.
