Building social fabric in Latin America

José Ignacio Ruiz-Pérez

Abstract


This dossier is dedicated to social fabric, its components and related predictive/criteria variables. A definition of “social fabric” includes people, institutions, social beliefs, cultural values, a sense of community and relationships between these components (Hayden, 2011). Collective or massive violence can break social bonds and these dynamics may intensify may processes of economic impoverishment, social isolation, fear, and public health problems, among other effects. Around the world, many countries have suffered decades of civil wars, corruption, military governments and or persistent violation of main human rights. On the other hand, in Latin America, reports as Latinobarometro (2023) show a decline in support for democracy, which is associated with high levels of inequality, high discredit of political and judicial institutions and high scores of delinquency. Under these perceptions, Latin America region became vulnerable to populism and authoritarianism (Corporación Latinobarómetro, 2023).
