I have seen both:
Zusammenhalt zwischen xxx
and
Zusammenhalt unter xxx
I can’t work out whether there is any difference in meaning/usage. Please explain.

I only know the first way. In which context have you seen both? – Reese Nov 23 '15 at 22:16

There is no difference in meaning but in usage:
If you mean the cohesion in a group you use unter:
The cohesion among soldiers.
Der Zusammenhalt unter den Soldaten
If you mean the cohesion between two persons or so you use zwischen:
The cohesion between the two siblings.
Der Zusammenhalt zwischen den beiden Geschwistern.
But (because you referring to a group):
The cohesion among siblings.
Der Zusammenhalt unter Geschwistern.
