Abstract
The use of analytical concepts such as cultural capital, social capital, and symbolic capital enable a deeper insight into available developmental performances of the countries in transition. The first concept, cultural capital, copes with the degree of personalization of trans-individually rooted knowledge, skills and status. The second concept, social capital, comprises of actual and potential resource utilization of various social groups and networks. Finally, the concept of symbolic capital focuses on the developmental context of the overall cultural memory and tradition of particular community. Thus the three concepts facilitate analytic insights into the process of establishment of cultural elites, as well as the analysis of dominant trends in institutional design, and the understanding of ways in which the basic set of social procedures is established, respected and controlled.
