Recent observers of social cohesion policies argue that globalization has led to a global convergence towards neo-liberal models. Scholars and practitioners of regional politics contend that Europe’s social policies represent "best practices" promoted in other regions, such as during recent EU-Latin American Summits, resulting in policy-making convergence. This book challenges these claims and questions the relevance of distinct regional approaches to social cohesion. The comparative cross-regional analysis presented here examines the dynamics of competition among actors (power), the influence of history and social traditions (time), and the significance of geographic boundaries on social cohesion (space). Through this lens, the volume explores whether unique regional strategies remain significant in the face of globalization and the push for uniformity in social policies. By scrutinizing these elements, the work aims to provide a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding social cohesion and the interplay of various factors that shape policy-making across different regions. Ultimately, it seeks to illuminate the ongoing relevance of regional approaches amidst the pressures of global convergence.
