Abstract: Research on social capital in the western minority areas in China has important values. This paper reviews the current research, which is focused on the characteristics and traditional form of social capital in western areas, problems in social capital and the following construction measures, and concludes the drawbacks in the current research such as the lack of systematic quantitative research, absence of the concern for the localization study and the internal differences, the weak explanatory research, and lack of in-depth analysis on social capital construction measures. The research of social capital in the western minority areas should be based on the empirical study of localization, perfect the descriptive study, strengthen the interpretative research, and need more practical and in-depth analysis on the countermeasures of social capital construction.

Key words: social capital, the western minority areas, social capital construction
