Putnam used the concept of social capital to shed further light on these differences in civic engagement.
He is less dismissive of another liberal idea, however, namely that declining civic engagement is caused by the growing power of big business, and particularly the ways in which trends towards corporate globalization have reduced the civic commitment of business leaders.
However, as civic engagement has also dropped in small towns and rural areas, Putnam regards urban mobility and sprawl as no more than a contributory factor.
We might therefore expect these societies to show similar declines of civic engagement, if Putnam's diagnosis is accurate.
If the apparent resilience of social capital in Sweden and Britain is typical for Western Europe, this might suggest that Putnam must revisit his explanation of declining civic engagement in the US; however, it would not undermine his basic diagnosis of decline.
