Descripción del proyecto
Proteger y fortalecer el contrato social de la Unión Europea
El cambio climático, los conflictos y diferentes crisis han afectado de forma notable a la confianza pública en la Unión Europea (UE) y sus instituciones, lo que ha suscitado preocupaciones sobre la calidad del contrato social de la UE con sus ciudadanos. El proyecto Express2, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene por objeto estudiar estos cambios recientes, sus repercusiones y las necesidades y dudas de los ciudadanos, a fin de formular un nuevo contrato social y acuerdo de asociación en la UE. Para lograrlo, su equipo identificará los principales factores de cambio, tratará de comprender sus interrelaciones, diseñará soluciones y establecerá medidas para salvaguardar el contrato de posibles perturbaciones. Además se pondrán en marcha iniciativas de colaboración con las instituciones y los responsables políticos a fin de proteger y fortalecer el contrato social.
Objetivo
EXPRESS2 is a project that addresses from a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and cross-sectional perspective, the growing demand for a new, more democratic, inclusive, and sustainable social contract in the EU. To achieve this, the project will work to create a more appealing and legitimate EU social contract draft that will be submitted to inhabitants, Member States and EU institutions that will have the possibility to participate and decide upon the conditions, rights, and obligations to be binding. The goal is to strengthen the EU agreement of association by promoting social dialogue, civic engagement, and integration. An express draft shall be achieved by means of policy dialogue, campaign implementation, collaborative workshops, advocacy planning, and innovative offline and online formats and tools to create spaces for dialogue. To this end, EXPRESS2 will involve EU policymakers and institutions throughout the project to obtain a more appealing and legitimate EU social contract draft.
The project will also focus on identifying and analyzing disruptive elements of the social contract, such as insecurity, populism, climate change, mistrust in institutions, gender discrimination, digitalisation and pandemics. The analysis of these stressors includes both individualised and cross-sectional approaches to cover the plausible relation of multiple disruptors, their concatenation or the “trigger” effect of a disruptive phenomenon to another. By understanding these disruptive elements and their effects on the social contract, the project will propose concrete measures to ironclad the social contract and it will provide relevant information to protect it from actual and potential disruptions thus we conceive social contracts as incomplete theorised agreements and living documents. In addition to academic, policy, and socio-economic outcomes, EXPRESS2 will propose recommendations to strengthen the social contract's resilience and capacity for further development.
