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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Well-Being and Quality of Life Research,$x2211-7652 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aComparative government 606 $aPsychology, Industrial 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aHuman Geography 606 $aComparative Politics 606 $aWork and Organizational Psychology 606 $aSocial Policy 606 $aSocial Structure 606 $aQuality of Life Research 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aPsychology, Industrial. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 14$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aWork and Organizational Psychology. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aSocial Structure. 615 24$aQuality of Life Research. 676 $a302.14 700 $aDragolov$b Georgi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062117 702 $aIgnácz$b Zsófia S$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aLorenz$b Jan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aDelhey$b Jan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aBoehnke$b Klaus$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aUnzicker$b Kai$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253307103321 996 $aSocial Cohesion in the Western World$92523040 997 $aUNINA
