摘要:Over the past decades we have seen the concept of social
cohesion reemerge in the social sciences. It has contributed in helping
us grasp the many complex changes that globalization has bestowed
upon the social, political and economical spheres, and in making sense
of other concepts such as social equality and social justice. Going back
to the sociological roots of the concept of social cohesion, this article
aims at consolidating what has so far been gathered in terms of theoretical
definitions of the concept, with the ultimate goal of pinpointing
its reach, for its practical application in the field of co-operative studies.
The focus is on health co-operatives in Quebec.
