Paul KillerbyKillerby, P. (2001) "Social capital, participation and sustainable development: Recent examples of inclusive consultation in New Zealand", presented at the International Association for Community Development (IACD) conference, Rotorua, New Zealand, 2-6 April 2001. Abstract In recent years, the concept of "social capital" has attracted increased attention from economists, sociologists, and theorists in many other social sciences. Social capital has been linked with such fundamental policy goals as social cohesion, resource management, and increased public participation in the political process. There has been particular interest from policy makers who see social capital as a tool for environmentally, socially and economically sustainable development. Related to this, there has been an upsurge of interest in New Zealand in the past several years, by local bodies and other groups, in more participatory forms of public decision-making. This has led to the use of more creative forms of"inclusive consultation". This paper describes the background and processes involved in several recent consultations in New Zealand, and draws out a number of key practical lessons which have been learnt from these experiences.
