社会交往是人类生活的一个重要组成部分，其数量和质量决定了一个人的社会或关系能力（涉及与他人关系的能力）。此外，社会机构和社会能力在提高能力和塑造个人选择方面发挥着关键作用。社会机构（规范和组织）集体运作（这里的定义排除了政府和私营部门）。社会能力是指社会机构能够做什么或成为什么。除了在创造和加强特定能力方面发挥重要的推动作用外，社会机构还帮助形成个人的偏好和行为，使个人不能被认为是完全自主的。最后，人与人之间的关系和机构之间的关系决定了一个社会是否和平、具有凝聚力和包容性。本文分析了这一分析所产生的一些政策影响-旨在促进运作良好的社会机构可能促进人类发展。
Social interactions are a quintessential part of human life, and their quantity and quality determine a person’s social or relational capabilities (capabilities involving relations with others). In addition, social institutions and social competencies play a critical role in advancing capabilities and shaping individual choice. Social institutions (norms and organizations) operate collectively (defined here to exclude the government and the private sector). Social competencies are what social institutions can do or be. As well as an important instrumental role in creating and enhancing particular capabilities, social institutions help shape individual preferences and behaviour so that individuals cannot be assumed to be fully autonomous. Finally, relations among people and institutions determine whether a society is peaceful, cohesive and inclusive. This paper analyses some policy implications arising from this analysis - aimed at promoting well-functioning social institutions likely to advance human development.
