Imagine a city's rules as a giant agreement that everyone signs to get along. Sometimes these rules become outdated or leave people out, leading to protests or instability. This work creates a guidebook to help leaders update these agreements so they stay fair and strong even during crises.
Companies and governments struggle to maintain stability and legitimacy when societal values shift or crises occur. This leads to social unrest and unpredictable regulatory environments.
A model of social contracts, a supporting guidebook, and a set of policy recommendations.
If you are a consultancy dealing with political instability for clients — this project developed a model of social contracts that helps predict and manage societal tensions. It provides a knowledge base to support anticipatory policymaking for better risk management.
If you are a large company dealing with social exclusion in the regions where you operate — this project developed a guidebook that identifies mechanisms for inclusive social contracts. This helps the company align its social impact goals with local democratic needs.
If you are a law firm dealing with the creation of new regional regulations — this project developed policy recommendations to embed inclusive social contracts. This ensures new rules are resilient to anti-democratic tendencies and societal shifts.
Based on available project data, there is no pricing information provided as the project is funded by the EU.
The project focuses on a theoretical and empirical model applied across 11 countries, but it is not an industrial product for mass production.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though the results are intended for policymakers and citizens.
The project generates policy recommendations to embed the implementation of resilient social contracts into the existing policy landscape.
The project runs from 2024-02-01 to 2027-01-31.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 7 universities and 3 research organizations across 9 countries. There is only 1 SME and 0 traditional industry partners, indicating that the project's current output is primarily knowledge-based and theoretical rather than commercially driven.
