What the paper says

The success of regional development projects is highly dependent on the social capital established during the project period and sustained thereafter. This paper investigates the role and interaction of stakeholder engagement and stakeholder participation in fostering the emergence of social capital in such projects. Drawing on a mixed-methods approach—combining joint correspondence analysis and in-depth interviews—an exploratory empirical study of nine project teams involved in a publicly funded Danish-German initiative is presented. The findings indicate that both stakeholder engagement and stakeholder participation are critical to the development of social capital in regional development projects. Stakeholder engagement primarily influences social capital at the personal level, whereas higher levels of stakeholder participation are associated with a more embedded or targeted form of social capital that may extend beyond the formal project duration. Additionally, the analysis suggests that stakeholder engagement serves as an influential factor in shaping stakeholder participation.
