“…It serves the purpose of creating new social contracts with a more important role for duties of care and responsibility (Huntjens & Kemp, 2022). These new social contracts are referred to as a Natural Social Contract (Huntjens, 2021;Huntjens and Kemp, 2022;Huntjens et al, 2023), or Eco-Social Contract (Gough, 2022;Kempf & Hujo, 2022;Kempf, Hujo & Ponte, 2022;Krause et al 2022;UNRISD 2022;Mohamed & Huntjens, 2023). The Transformation Flower Approach is adopted by the IPBES Transformation Change Assessment (2022-2024) for linking options, levers and actors for transformative change/pathways.…”

“…Social contracts are different in each country and context; but essentially, they comprise the web 2 of relationships that bind together disparate citizens, communities, institutions and governments into a just society (Mohammed & Huntjens, 2023). A break between the old and new social contract is urgently needed, and a new discourse is emerging that proposes a new type of social contract that addresses the anthropocentric foundation of our current economies and societies driving the ecological divide (Huntjens, 2021;Bogert et al 2022;Huntjens & Kemp, 2022;Kempf & Hujo, 2022;UNRISD, 2022). This appears an Herculean task, since any transformation is up to formidable barriers: i) no actor has the overview and power to do this, ii) transformative change comes with disadvantages and costs for important actors, some of which will actively resist it, iii) transformations are conflict-ridden and involve disagreements on values, technologies, policy instruments and discussions over legitimacy, iv) new system practices are not born perfect and their diffusion depends on their improvement and changes in the socio-economic context.…”

<strong>The Transformation Flower Approach for Leveraging Change Towards Multiple Value Creation and Institutional Change</strong>

The Transformation Flower Approach (TFA) introduced in this paper attends to multiple value creation and institutional change as a dual design challenge. By integrating social scientific theories and models relevant for transformative change (in particular focusing on pathways, leverage points, governance, power, and values) and practical insights from an ongoing societal transformation (concerning the Dutch food system), the TFA provides a holistic, transdisciplinary and practically relevant approach that aims to support new social contract formation. This distinguishes the TFA from other transformative change approaches. Based on the notion of pathways, the TFA offers a toolbox that aids in working towards desirable futures, involving both incumbents and challengers in an effort to harness untapped yet proximal potentials in a forward-looking way. By embracing an innovation approach, it not only promises to circumvent a substantial amount of resistance to change, but also serves as a step-by-step approach to identify options for multiple value creation and effective cooperation. We demonstrate the analytical and practical value of the TFA by discussing action perspectives at various levels and scales in the context of the Dutch food system transition, including (1) area-oriented approaches, (2) acceleration agendas for specific transformation pathways, and (3) actor-specific transformation flowers. In developing these, we emphasize the importance of interdependencies between leverage points. Our approach helps to identify opportunities to link transformative options (the what), actors (the who) and levers (the how) in dynamic interaction to embark on transformative pathways.

“…Getting there requires democratic participatory processes and dialogue, so that both process and outcomes are legitimate and representative of the broader public interest. Indeed, existing real-world social contracts have often been exclusionary, representing dominant powers in society rather than the common good (Kempf/Hujo 2022;Hickey 2011).…”

“…and the increasing competition over strategic minerals in the global South. There are different kinds of social contracts (Kempf/Hujo 2022) and ideas differ on how to establish a contract with nature, what a new eco-social contract should look like and how it should be implemented. Coming to terms with the multitude of perspectives and context-specificities will require decentralised participatory dialogues and decision making ultimately in favour of climate action, social justice and the common good.…”

Why We Need a New Eco-Social Contract

Calls for new economic and social approaches to combine social and climate justice have become louder and more urgent in light of the current COVID-19 and climate crises. The need to address inequalities, exploitation of people, and lacking respect for the natural boundaries of our planet have led to new approaches such as just transition, wellbeing economics or a new eco-social contract. This article will show why a new eco-social contract needs to combine social and climate justice and what we can learn from an analysis and the comparison of the different visions regarding such a contract.

“…Academics, policymakers, and development practitioners are increasingly focusing on understanding the various dimensions of social and economic inequality in this context [10], [11]. Social and economic inequalities have been amplified by globalization, neoliberal policies, and the failure of the global economic model to account for environmental boundaries [4], [12]. These inequalities have adverse impacts on growth, poverty reduction, health, education, and democratic governance [13].…”

This bibliometric analysis explores the landscape of research on social and economic inequality in developing countries, employing a comprehensive approach that integrates co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrence patterns, journal mapping, and geographical distribution maps. The study draws on a vast repository of scholarly publications, shedding light on key themes, influential authors, and global research trends. Co-authorship networks reveal collaborative patterns, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in understanding inequality. Keyword co-occurrence patterns identify central themes, highlighting the multifaceted dimensions of social and economic disparities. Journal mapping showcases pivotal platforms shaping the discourse, aiding researchers in navigating the academic landscape. Geographical distribution maps unveil regional concentrations and gaps, prompting nuanced explorations of inequality within specific contexts. The synthesis of these results provides a comprehensive understanding of the field, guiding future research endeavors and informing evidence-based policy interventions for inclusive development.
