Resumen

Este artículo muestra que el desarrollo teórico, empírico e institucional del concepto cohesión social, ha implicado una elevada ambigüedad que se manifiesta en seis dilemas de indefinición y en un solapamiento entre este concepto y los de comunidad y de capital social. Partiendo de ello, y admitiendo dicha ambigüedad, los objetivos de este trabajo son: 1) localizar las dimensiones definitorias de la cohesión a partir de las variables utilizadas en 54 artículos académicos, 2) vincular los resultados con el modo con que comprenden el concepto los organismos internacionales y 3) poder concluir que la cohesión social se define a partir de ocho dimensiones, que remiten a una doble ecuación de pertenencia objetiva y subjetiva al grupo, y por las que se solapa con la comunidad y el capital social, pero que, además, cuenta con una dimensión diferenciadora: la desigualdad.
