In this paper, we analyze three of these models, trying to make a linkage with the different dimensions of vulnerability. The objectives of these proposals have been very wide, from those interested in the quality and quantity of available resources, up to those concerned in the experiences and subjective mediations of vulnerability. Based on this, different analytical models were developed in order to understand the process whereby individuals cope with vulnerability. They concluded that the core of this problem was the resources and how individuals mobilize them. But, why certain persons and households are more likely to manage and overcome vulnerability than others? This was the question posed by a group of social researchers as a result of the economic and social changes occurred in Latin America since the late 80s. Vulnerability is a multidimensional process in which the odds that people or groups suffer from some kind of loss or damage are very high, due to the resulted imbalance between the different dimensions that sustain individual and social life.
