Call

Economic models and modern democracies

Summary

Theoretically and empirically robust recommendations aiming to instil greater democratic accountability and inclusion in economic processes.

Detailed Call Description

Proposals are expected to address some of the following points:

  • To study the interrelationship between politics, people’s participation, culture and economics in modern European democracies across time.
  • To comparatively analyse the role of various democratic institutional configurations and actors in mitigating the negative effects of economic activity on society and on democratic processes, while promoting inclusive and sustainable growth.

Research may study trends in capital accumulation and distribution, especially in new digital and creative industries, and the impacts they have on the functioning of democracies.

Proposals should examine legal, social, economic, organisational and financial innovations that could make corporations more inclusive, accountable and conducive to social fairness and environmental sustainability, while preserving their innovation and flexibility.

Alternative economic models (including social economy organisations and social enterprises) and new models of corporate governance can be studied, in which case their success in fostering inclusive economic growth, enhancing democratic participation and improving environmental sustainability should be evaluated. Proposal are encouraged to identify social innovation policies that would support such new governance models.
