    Leininger, Julia / Francesco Burchi / Charlotte Fiedler / Karina Mross / Daniel Nowack / Armin von Schiller / Christoph Sommer / Christoph Strupat / Sebastian Ziaja (2021)
    Discussion Paper, 31/2021

    The paper offers a definition of social cohesion that is broad enough to cover the essentials holding societies together while keeping it lean enough to analyse the causes and consequences of social cohesion. Methodologically, we provide an application of our concept to the African context.
