Abstract: Solidarity is often linked to a specific social community. In a globalised world however, such an understanding obviously falls short. Therefore, this article argues for a political understanding of solidarity in a transnational perspective. Such a concept, in contrast to a focus on social cohesion, aims at social change and includes a utopian dimension. The diverse and sometimes conflicting practices of political solidarity in a global context are mainly about expressing counter-models to prevailing political interpretations. In the struggle for global proposals for concrete political solutions, they aim to make the excluded heard and visible in the face of diverse crises and to transform the foundations of (transnational) coexistence. It is exactly the plurality of these practices that displays significantly important democratic potential.
