This article provides a concise overview of the history of scholarship on solidarity in Europe and North America. While recent decades have seen an increase in conceptual and scholarly interest in solidarity in North America and other parts of the Anglo-Saxon world, the concept is much more strongly anchored in Europe. Continental European politics in particular have given rise to two of the most influential traditions of solidarity, namely, socialism and Christian ethics. Solidarity has also guided important public instruments and institutions in Europe (e.g., welfare, healthcare, etc.). Despite the much stronger affinity of continental European societies to solidaristic thinking, we argue that solidarity has much to offer for addressing societal challenges on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. After proposing a working definition of solidarity that highlights its utility for guiding policy and practice, we give an example of how a solidarity-based perspective can shape instruments for the governance of data use.
本文简要概述了欧洲和北美学界关于团结的历史。尽管近几十年来，北美和盎格鲁-撒克逊世界其他地区对团结的概念和学术兴趣有所增加，但这一概念在欧洲的根基更为深厚。尤其是欧洲大陆的政治催生了两种最具影响力的团结传统，即社会主义和基督教伦理。团结还指导了欧洲重要的公共工具和机构（如福利、医疗保健等）。尽管欧洲大陆社会对团结思想的亲和力更强，但我们认为，团结对于应对大西洋两岸及其他地区的社会挑战有很大帮助。在提出一个强调团结对指导政策和实践的效用的工作定义后，我们给出一个基于团结的视角如何塑造数据使用治理工具的例子。
