Abstract

La plupart des études sur la répartition dans les pays en développement portent sur celle des ressources matérielles, comme, le plus souvent, les revenus, la consommation et, parfois, la richesse. En revanche, les études sur la distribution du capital social s’inscrivent, pour la plupart, dans le contexte des pays développés. Cet article rompt avec cette double tradition en analysant la répartition du capital social dans un pays en développement, l’Inde. De plus, nous lions cette question avec des thèmes propres à l’économie politique en examinant la relation entre la répartition du capital social, la répartition de la confiance dans les organismes publics, et la participation électorale. Les résultats montrent que la participation aux activités sociales est fortement corrélée à la confiance dans les organismes publics, qui elle-même favorise la participation à la vie politique, au travers du vote. Toutefois, contrairement aux résultats obtenus dans des contextes différents, les membres des groupes discriminés ont tendance à avoir davantage confiance dans les institutions.
