SPRINGERBRIEFS IN WELL-BEING AND QUALITY OF LIF...

Many people in the Western world are concerned that the social fabric of societies is fraying.
This book constitutes the first-of-its-kind systematic account of social cohesion  from theory
through methodology to empirical evidence. Readers are introduced to the academically developed
Social Cohesion Radar of Bertelsmann Stiftung  a globally active non-governmental organization.
The Social Cohesion Radar defines and measures cohesion as characterized by three core aspects:
resilient social relations  positive emotional connectedness between people and the community 
and a pronounced focus on the common good. Using high-quality academic and institutional data
sources  the Social Cohesion Radar provides insights into the level and development of social
cohesion over a period of almost 25 years internationally  among 34 European Union and OECD
members  and regionally  among the 16 federal states of Germany. It further provides insights
into what influences cohesion  and what cohesion is good for. One of the key findings is that
social cohesion promotes a happier life for everyone.
