Each of these studies has proposed different definitions of social cohesion, accompanied by different forms of operationalization. As a result, there are different dimensions, sub-dimensions and indicators that seek to measure social cohesion across these projects. Some of these dimensions are common among studies, but most of them present wide differences in their operationalization, combining indicators that in some studies are presented as sub-dimensions and in others constitute differentiated dimensions. As a result of conceptual differences, the nesting structure of dimensions and sub-dimensions is different between projects, which makes it difficult to make a direct comparison between the experiences reviewed. --- ## Measuring social cohesion in international projects ---- .pull-left[ .content-box-red[ ### Inconsistencies - conceptual scope - dimensions / subdimensions ] ] .pull-left[ .content-box-yellow[ ### Communalities - multidimensional approach - repeated concepts ] ] --- .pull-left[ ## Communalities / intersections ![:scale 65%](images/Percent-Venn-Diagram-Image-6.png) .tiny[ Castillo, JC., Olivos, F. & Iturra, J.
