TL;DR: This paper argued that parental choice is a social field where social relations are reproduced, reinforced and mediated, and argued that it is an important area for socially-sociological study which, to date, has been neglected.
Abstract: Following the enhancement of
parental choice through the 1988 Education Act, an increasing body of
educational literature, aside from describing parent wants and the
implications for internal organisation and external marketing, includes
criticism of it as yet another way of privileging the middle class over
the working class (eg. Halstead, 1994). This paper argues that parental
choice is a social field where social relations are reproduced,
reinforced and mediated. As such, it is an important area for
sociological study which, to date, has been neglected. Drawing on some
preliminary analysis of a research study, this paper critically
examines the merits of using the work of Pierre Bourdieu to facilitate
a sociological analysis of parental choice. The paper concludes that
parental choice is a new aspect of social reproduction that clearly
demonstrates Bourdieu's explanation of the interrelation between
'habitus' and social 'field'.

TL;DR: This article conducted high-stakes games across 34 Indian villages to assess the extent to which networks substitute for enforcement, and found that socially close pairs cooperate even without enforcement; distant pairs do not.
Abstract: Absence of well-functioning formal institutions leads to reliance on social networks to enforce informal contracts. Social ties may aid cooperation, but agents vary in network centrality, and this hierarchy may hinder cooperation. To assess the extent to which networks substitute for enforcement, we conducted high-stakes games across 34 Indian villages. We randomized subjects' partners and whether contracts were enforced to estimate how partners' relative network position differentially matters across contracting environments. Socially close pairs cooperate even without enforcement; distant pairs do not. Pairs with unequal importance behave less cooperatively without enforcement. Thus capacity for cooperation depends on the underlying network.
