Portuguese term or phrase: problemas políticos de coordenação ou medida social
I'm looking for a solution that fits with the preceding text. A literal translation doesn't make much sense.

Para alguns, mais do que uma nova perspectiva analítica, as redes representam uma mudança na estrutura política da sociedade, ou seja, novas formas de organização social em resposta aos **problemas políticos de coordenação ou medida social**.

English translation:political problems, based on social coordination and initiatives.
Explanation:
To make sense of it I would parse as follows:

Para alguns, mais do que uma nova perspectiva analítica, as redes representam uma mudança na estrutura política da sociedade, ou seja, novas formas de organização social, em resposta aos problemas políticos, de coordenação ou medida social.

To some, beyond a new analytical perspective, the networks represent a new political structure in society, i.e., new forms of social organization -- in response to political problems -- based on social coordination and initiatives.

Replace dashes with commas or brackets to suit.
