Social Contract and Populism in Contemporary Politics
Chair: Emilia Palonen
This event will discuss the explicit and implicit practices of social contracts in politics. Democracy has a significant basis on social contract theory, but social contracts are also a tool in political rhetoric. What are Social Contracts for in today's politics? What is the populist social contract, or what is populist about social contracts? And what is their relationship with populism? The Continously Constructed Social Contract is debated in this panel chaired by Associate Professor in Political Science Emilia Palonen, who currently leads the European Union CO3 horizon research consortium on the topic with Dr. Anna Björk a Team Leader from Demos Helsinki. They will start with a 30 minute discussion on populism and the social contract. Palonen and Björk invite members of the consortium and other colleagues and practitioners to discuss the theme with the engaged audience at the Think Corner. The line-up includes Alexander Alekseev (Helsinki), Emre Erdogan and Pınar Ulyan (Bilgi University, Istanbul) from the CO3 horizon consortium, Antonia Ruiz (University Pablo de Olavide, Sevilla) from UNTWIST horizon consortium and Nathanaël Colin-Jaeger (American University in Paris, AUP).
