The effects of globalisation require the strengthening of campaigns for social justice at a local level and infuse efforts to promote participation with a fresh sense of urgency. European nations have introduced a large number of participatory initiatives with the aim of promoting social cohesion within the population to reduce poverty, social exclusion and social injustice. Despite disparate local and national social contexts, it is possible to find comparable principles and approaches across Europe that aim to strengthen social relationships and networks among those affected by globalisation.
