Organization, Citizenship, and the Social Contract

Philip Keefer and Carlos Scartascini

Chapter 8 in Trust: The Key to Social Cohesion and Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean, 2022, pp 195-222 from Inter-American Development Bank

Abstract: The region struggles to define and defend its social contracts and expand the benefits and obligations of citizenship. These inherently collective tasks challenge atomized societies. Organizations—the public administration, political parties, civil society—overcome the obstacles of atomization but are weak in the region: strengthening the social contract in Latin America and the Caribbean demands more robust organizations.
