ABSTRACT This article argues that inclusion is a key driver of resilient social contracts and a foundation for sustaining peace. Drawing on case studies conducted under the Forging Resilient Social Contracts project and building on the literature on transitions from war to peace and authoritarianism to democracy, the theoretical framework links inclusion to peace sustainability. Interrogating how and why processes of inclusion matter, we argue that resilient social contracting is driven by elite inclusion, societal inclusion and their interactions. Four case-studies illustrate the arguments. Resilient social contracting, findings suggest, allows countries to weather crises and survive to ‘transition another day’.

一次维持一天的和平：包容，过渡危机和社会契约的弹性

摘要本文认为，包容是抵御社会契约的关键驱动力，也是维持和平的基础。该理论框架借鉴了在“建立坚韧的社会契约”项目下进行的案例研究，并基于从战争到和平，从专制到民主的过渡的文献，将包容性与和平的可持续性联系起来。在审视包容过程如何以及为什么重要时，我们认为弹性的社会契约是由精英包容，社会包容及其相互作用驱动的。有四个案例研究说明了这些论点。研究结果表明，弹性的社会契约使各国能够度过危机并生存下来，以“改头换面”。
