Abstract

ENRIQUEZ PEREZ, Isaac  and  GARCIA ALVAREZ, Santiago. Society, State and market in the post-pandemic: a new social pact for Ecuador and Mexico. Discursos del sur [online]. 2023, n.12, pp.223-257.  Epub Dec 05, 2023. ISSN 2617-2283.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/dds.n12.20797.

In tandem with the global epidemiological crisis, this article was written with the aim of starting a public debate and to propose a set of alternatives for social change and economic transformation in order to tackle - from a developing world - the multiple effects of the disruptive crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, from a critical and regulatory perspective. Although these propositions are not entirely sufficient, we believe they respond to the urgency of real-time thinking to the challenges of a pandemic that englobes a far-reaching systemic and ecosocial crisis that intertwines with the crisis of capitalism and the current collapse of civilization. A new social pact warrants recovering theoretical debates concerning public problems and decision-making, as well as employing the creative imagination and political will to broaden the possibility of achieving diverse, sufficient, viable and realistic social agreements.

Keywords : COVID-19 pandemic; crisis of capitalism; new social pact; governance; public policies.
