Dynamics of Inclusive Prosperity

The Erasmus Initiative ‘Dynamics of Inclusive Prosperity’ focuses on enabling as many people as possible to benefit from increasing prosperity, whilst minimising the negative consequences. Increased prosperity requires constant coordination of the changing needs and values of governments, businesses, citizens and entrepreneurs. In order to chart this dynamic field, scholars from Erasmus School of Law, Rotterdam School of Management and the Erasmus School of Philosophy entered into a multidisciplinary partnership.

The Erasmus Initiative “Dynamics of Inclusive Prosperity” (DoIP) develops understanding of inclusive prosperity, and exposes its drivers. It also shows how this knowledge can be used to effectively address contemporary societal challenges in the Netherlands and elsewhere. DoIP brings together scholars in law, business and philosophy. This combination of academic expertise puts it in an excellent position to study how in a context that is “oriented” by different layers of legislation and (self) regulation, public and private sector actors can interact to leverage inclusive prosperity. How are the benefits of activities distributed and how are the interests of all stakeholders protected? Through which mechanisms and legal institutions is inclusion promoted? What are the epistemologies of injustice and hurdles to transformative change? The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) play an important role in the assessment of current situations and contemplation of possible improvements.

Themes

Inclusive Prosperity is a broad topic. DoIP’s activities focus on the following three themes.

Leveraging Inclusive Cities

Sustainability and Ecological Inclusion
