1. The social contract: an analytical tool for countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and beyond

   

   Loewe, Markus / Bernhard Trautner / Tina Zintl (2019)

   The social contract is a key term in social science literature focusing on state-society relations but has rarely been well. Our briefing paper suggests a concept where social contracts are sets of agreements between societal groups and the government on rights and obligations towards each other.

2. Social cohesion and economic development: unpacking the relationship

   

   Sommer, Christoph (2019)

   The drifting-apart of societies has become a major concern in many regions. Economic factors such as income inequality are often assumed to aggravate these trends.

3. How can an international framework for investment facilitation contribute to sustainable development?

   

   Berger, Axel / Sebastian Gsell (2019)

   A WTO framework for investment facilitation can contribute to sustainable development if it strengthens developing countries’ capacities, respects policy space, allows for longer implementation periods, enhances responsible business conduct and supports multi-stakeholder cooperation.

4. Economic mobility across generations: old versus new EU member states

   

   van der Weide, Roy / Ambar Narayan / Mario Negre (2019)

   For large parts of the world’s population, individual education is still too closely tied to the education of one’s parents, more so for poorer than for to richer world regions.

   Human (im-)mobility in the context of climate change is major challenge for the African continent. This paper identifies some key trends in "climate migration" in Sub-Saharan Africa. Based on that, three basic policy recommendations are formulated.

7. Why writing a new constitution after conflict can contribute to peace

   

   Fiedler, Charlotte (2019)

   Countries coming out of conflict often adopt new constitutions, but the question how this affects their chances of sustaining peace remains unanswered. This paper summarises new research showing that post-conflict constitution-making processes and especially longer ones can contribute to peace.

   Bauer, Steffen / Axel Berger / Gabriela Iacobuta (2019)

   G20 represents 80% of global carbon emissions and 80% of global wealth. This briefing paper argues how the club's economic and political weight may be harnessed for ambitious action towards implementing the Paris Agreement and 2030 Agenda in spite of domestic agendas and geopolitical odds.

9. Dismantling the myth of the growth-inequality trade-off
