ABSTRACT
This chapter draws extensively from the research to highlight micro-politics in action. Different aspects of group dynamics are critically analysed, along with their relevance to micro-politics. They are connected to norms, agendas, communication, group objectives, hidden interactions and legitimacy. As the chapter progresses it will become clear that each of these is affected by power; all the while the concepts embedded within social capital, namely trust, norms and reciprocity are evident.
