The workshop aims to explore diverse perspectives on the measurement of social cohesion across three countries: Australia, Chile, and Germany. We will delve into the theoretical approaches, methodologies, and findings of key social cohesion surveys conducted in each country, and discuss the challenges of analyzing cohesion, conflict and polarization in international comparison.
