AD 2021: Rebuilding an Inclusive Post-Covid Social Contract

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed flaws in healthcare systems around the world. Despite the inequalities between the different countries in the strength of these systems and the social safety nets, the common observation is that we must rethink social contracts and the relationship between states and their citizens.

This renewal of this relationship is based mainly on the quality of services provided by the State and the reform of health systems so that it can withstand future shocks. Nonetheless, we should also take a look on the nature of interactions between citizens and decision-makers. Globally, populations have opposed the coercive methods used by states to impose confinements and mandatory vaccinations, in this context, the issue of trust between states and citizens is at the heart of the overhaul of Post Covid Social Contracts.

- How can we build an inclusive social contract after what the pandemic has revealed the flaws inside our systems?

- How does international cooperation impact the national debates on social contracts?

- Do states have to create global surveillance systems in order to ensure citizen’s well-being?
