这篇短文讨论了新冠肺炎危机是如何影响团结的。它首先界定团结的定义，使之有别于其他类型的支助和亲社会做法，并认为团结可以在三个不同的层面上表现出来：个人层面、群体层面或法律和合同规范层面。根据正在进行的两项关于新冠肺炎危机对个人和社会影响的研究结果，我接着提出，尽管即使在危机爆发的头几周和几个月里，个人间团结的形式也在发生变化，但制度化团结的重要性正变得越来越明显。新冠肺炎时代最具韧性的社会，并不是那些拥有最好的医疗技术或最严格的疫情遏制措施的社会，而是那些拥有良好的公共基础设施和其他团结一致的机构的社会。
This short article discusses how the COVID-19 crisis has affected solidarity. It starts by defining solidarity in such a way that it can be distinguished from other types of support and pro-social practice, and by arguing that solidarity can manifest itself at three different levels: at the inter-personal level, the group level, or at the level of legal and contractual norms. Drawing upon findings from two ongoing studies on personal and societal effects of the COVID-19 crisis, I then go on to argue that, while forms of inter-personal solidarity have been shifting even during the first weeks and months of the crisis, the importance of institutionalized solidarity is becoming increasingly apparent. The most resilient societies in times of COVID-19 have not been those with the best medical technology or the strictest pandemic containment measures, but those with good public infrastructures and other solidaristic institutions.
