Spanish term or phrase: vigencia
El trinomio Estado-Empresa-Sociedad debe estar siempre articulado y apuntar a un mismo horizonte: bienestar para todos, sin descuidar la importancia de los patrones culturales y tradiciones que nos aseguran la *vigencia* como sociedad y la trascendencia en el mundo globalizado en el que nos insertamos cada día más.

dynamism [ver nota]


Explanation:
Dado que vigencia viene del latin vigens.vigentes de donde viene vigor, creo que en el contexto del párrafo, dynamism abarca lo que se implica en casi todas las sugerencias. Validity no tiene nada que ver con vigencia en este caso ya que cultura no es cuestión de validez si ya existe.
