Linking social capital has been shown to explain the role of change agents in the development of disadvantaged rural regions. We argue that this perspective can offer valuable insights into the still under-researched interplay between social entrepreneurs and their institutional environment. To facilitate research taking such a perspective, we present an analytical framework, discuss its rooting in various theories and suggest a methodology. This paper informs researchers active at the intersection of social entrepreneurship and regional development and equips them for their future studies with a consistent theoretical and methodological approach
