    Este artículo analiza las relaciones entre tres variables fundamentales dentro de la literatura sobre capital social. En él se discuten la conceptualización y operacionalización empírica de cada una de ellas y se examinan sus relaciones mutuas y el papel de algunas variables básicas, como el asociacionismo, en sus orígenes. Los datos utilizados proceden de las encuestas del proyecto Citizenship, Involvement, and Democracy (CID), realizadas en 12 países europeos entre 1999 y 2002. Los hallazgos empíricos caminan en dirección contraria a los de buena parte de la literatura en lo que hace a las relaciones entre confianza social y confianza política, entre confianza social y satisfacción con la democracia y sobre el papel de las asociaciones voluntarias para la creación de confianza social y política. Las implicaciones de estos hallazgos son metodológicas y sustantivas.

    This article examines the relations among three crucial variables within the literature o social capital. It discusses the conceptualization of each of them and how to make them operational, and analyzes their mutual interactions and the role of other classical variables, such as voluntary associations, in their origins. The survey data come from the Citizenship, Involvement, and Democracy project, undertaken in 12 European countries between 1999 and 2002. The empirical findings run in the opposite direction to the patterns established in most of the literature regarding the relationships between social trust and political confidence, between social trust and satisfaction with democracy, and the arguments supporting the idea that voluntary associations create both social trust and political confidence. The implications of these findings are both methodological and substantive.
