Toplum çeşitli normlar belirler ve insanların bu normlara göre hareket etmesini bazen talep ederler bazen de şart koşar. Böylece, normlar, insanın üst kimliğini oluştururlar. Yani kendi içinde farklı davranmak istese de normlar insanın davranışlarını dışarıdan şekillendirir. Bu açıdan bakınca sosyal sermaye ve kimlik iç içe durumlardır. Kimlik olmadan sosyal sermaye ortaya çıkmaz ve normlar olmadan kimlik oluşmaz. Dolayısıyla kimlikler, sosyal sermayenin esasıdır diyebiliriz. Sonuç olarak kimlik iktisadından bahsedilecekse sosyal sermayeden de bahsetmek gerekir. Bu araştırmanın birincil amacı, bir toplumun kalkınması için gerekli olan ancak toplumun büyük bir kısmının yabancı olduğu sosyal sermaye kavramına vurgu yapmak ve iktisadi önemini ayrıntılı olarak tanıtmaktır. Çalışmanın ikincil amacı, sosyal sermayenin barındırdığı inovatif yapıyı tarif etmektir. Üçüncü ve son amaç ise kimlik iktisadı bünyesinde ortaya atılan “kimlik oluşturma” veya “içeridekiler-dışarıdakiler” olarak tabir edilen ve örgütsel inovasyon olarak nitelendirilebilecek bir sistemin, sosyal sermaye üzerinden temini hususunda varsayımsal bir çıkarsama yapmaktır. Bu çıkarsama yapılırken sosyal sermaye ile “içeridekiler-dışarıdakiler” sisteminin benzer ve farklı yönleri tarif edilmiş ve benzerlikler üzerinden nedensel bir ilişki kurulmuştur. Böylece baştan alınacak tedbirler doğrultusunda kimlik oluşturmanın nasıl kolaylaşacağı üzerine öngörüler oluşturulmuştur. Sonuç olarak, çalışmanın bütünü düşünüldüğünde, sermaye türleri arasında sosyal sermayenin önemini biraz daha ön plana çıkarmak ve böylece sosyal sermayenin toplumsal kalkınma için ehemmiyetini ortaya koymak ise çalışmanın genel amacını oluşturmaktadır.

The Economic Significance of Social Capital and Evaluation of Innovative Effects of Social Capital Through Identity Economics: Insiders-Outsiders

Öz

Society sets various norms and sometimes demands and sometimes requires people to act according to these norms. Thus, norms form the super-identity of a person. In other words, norms shape a person's behavior externally, even if he wants to behave differently within himself. From this perspective, social capital and identity are intertwined situations. Without identity, social capital does not emerge, and without norms, identity does not emerge. Therefore, we can say that identities are the basis of social capital. As a result, if identity economics is to be talked about, social capital should also be mentioned. The primary purpose of this research is to emphasize the concept of social capital, which is necessary for the development of a society but to which most of the society is unfamiliar, and to introduce its economic importance in detail. The secondary aim of the study is to describe the innovative structure that social capital contains. The third and final aim is to make a hypothetical inference about the provision of a system called "identity formation" or "insider-outsider", which can be described as organizational innovation, through social capital, put forward within identity economics. While making this inference, similar and different aspects of social capital and the "insider-outsider" system were described and a causal relationship was established through similarities. Thus, predictions were made on how creating an identity would be easier in line with the measures to be taken from the beginning. As a result, considering the whole study, the general purpose of the study is to highlight the importance of social capital among the types of capital and thus to reveal the importance of social capital for social development.
