Resumen:

This chapter explores the association between different forms of sociopolitical integration and subjective well-being. Three dimensions of integration are considered: Social cohesion and fragmentation, relationship between government and citizens, and quality of life. The results show that the forms of integration play a mediating role in the association of happiness and commonly studied determinants. These findings point towards the important role that community context plays in explaining peopleâ??s subjective well-being; the community context may even explain the observed heterogeneity in happiness across otherwise similar individuals. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2016.
