Center for Institutional Reform and the Informal Sector (IRIS): Social Capital Initiative with the World Bank. http://www.iris.umd.edu/
http://www.irisprojects.umd.edu/socat/papers/papers.htm The Center for Institutional Reform and the Informal Sector (IRIS), at the University of Maryland, College Park, was founded on the premise that countries with healthy institutions have correspondingly healthy economies. Thus, IRIS offers a virtually unique perspective on economic development. IRIS researchers and consultants assist fledgling democracies and newly industrializing countries to build robust democratic, legal, and economic institutions which provide both a foundation and a guiding hand for future broad-based, stable economic growth. IRIS is working with the The World Bank's Initiative on Defining, Monitoring and Measuring Social Capital.
