This paper re-assesses the relevant literature on social capital formation and its
development role in marginal communities, using the case example of the Crimean
Tatars. In order to review the current literature, a modified systematic review
procedure has been adopted, leading to the formulation of a more thoroughly grounded
conceptual framework. The concept of social capital was originally developed as a
tool for explaining different developmental outcomes in societies with otherwise
similar resources. By integrating various theoretical strands, a complex
understanding of the various forms and levels of social capital emerges. The value
of the concept of social capital is examined, and attention is paid to both its
positive and negative meanings. Of particular interest for development studies is
the analysis of the impact of external intervention on social capital formation.
This is then tested in terms of its relevance for marginal communities, and
specifically when thinking through alternative policy effects.
