First of all, this enables us to re-conceptualize the definition of “tie” between two organizations. The lack of propensity to form more balanced interdependences stresses that instrumental relations prevail between civic organizations. Drawing upon evidence from Bristol and Glasgow, Baldassarri and Diani (2007) show, however, that balanced forms of triadic interaction are overrepresented in civic networks. Namely this triadic closure effect – “the building blocks of generalized reciprocity in which the meaning of the exchange extends to the third actors” (Baldassarri & Diani, 2007: 759) – enables develop sustainable forms of horizontal solidarity which so necessary to build a vibrant civil society. In our case asymmetric forms of triads which obviously prevail, in contrast, enables us to assert that “transactions” (Baldassarri & Diani, 2007) as forms of interactions between organizations dominate in Kazakhstani civil society. This network topology “would hardly be conducive to the emergence of the longer-term solidarities and deeper social bonds usually as sociated with social integration” (Baldassarri & Diani, 2007: 773) that regarded as an argument in favor of the critics of “globalizing” NGOs.
