Social development
• Poverty
• Social development also in rich countries
![Page 10: Sustainable development and the need of cooperation Sverker C. Jagers Department of Political Science Gothenburg University](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d555503460f94a3203d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Economic development
• Development not ”growth”
• The traditional view
• ”More with less”
![Page 11: Sustainable development and the need of cooperation Sverker C. Jagers Department of Political Science Gothenburg University](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d555503460f94a3203d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ecological sustainability
• Ecological frames
• Robustness of eosystems (”resilience”, socio-ecological systems)
• Ecological footprints

How to reach sustainable development?
• Technology (and transfer)
• Aid
• Organizational shifts
• Behavioural changes (to be continued!)
![Page 17: Sustainable development and the need of cooperation Sverker C. Jagers Department of Political Science Gothenburg University](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d555503460f94a3203d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Challenges (examples)
• Generational – how to properly consider the needs of future generations?
• Border-crossing – How to realise a global project like sust.dev.? (the anarchy of international politics)
• National – justice, redistribution of welfare, organisational improvements
• Responsibility. Who has the responsibility and why?

• Border-crossing – How to realise a global project like sust.dev.? (the anarchy of international politics)
• National – justice, redistriblution of welfare, organisational improvements
• Responsibility. Who has the responsibility and why?• Behavioural changes – Why do people damage the
environment when they know this will eventually strike back on themselves?

A social dilemma
(1) “The payoff for each individual to act in self-interest (called defecting) is higher than the payoff for acting in the interest of the collective (called co-operating) regardless of what others do, but:
(2) all individuals receive a lower payoff if all defect than if all cooperate.” Dawes, R. M. (1980)

Is that all that there is?

Ellinor Ostrom
• Nobel prize winner in 2009
• Common Pool resources
• Neither Stalin nor Milton Friedman
• A third way: cooperation!!!
![Page 31: Sustainable development and the need of cooperation Sverker C. Jagers Department of Political Science Gothenburg University](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d555503460f94a3203d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Cooperation
• Several conditions are required– A delimited resource (a bay, a lake, a bridge)– The users take the initiative– Minimal presence of government/external
authorities– Mutual surveillance– TRUST!!!!!!– Hitherto mainly local examples
![Page 32: Sustainable development and the need of cooperation Sverker C. Jagers Department of Political Science Gothenburg University](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d555503460f94a3203d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What is trust?
• An attitude towards others (a belief in others’ competence and reliability)
• A mental process: a dealing with risks (to dare to hand over one’s destiny to someone else)
![Page 33: Sustainable development and the need of cooperation Sverker C. Jagers Department of Political Science Gothenburg University](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d555503460f94a3203d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Trust, two important aspects
• Between indidviduals– “If I do not think that others…..”– “If only me……”
• Trust in “institutions” (political system, rules, authorities)– Intentions– Competence– Procedures– History of play
![Page 34: Sustainable development and the need of cooperation Sverker C. Jagers Department of Political Science Gothenburg University](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d555503460f94a3203d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What create trust?
• Many schools• A shared worldview, norms, values (not the
least sense of justice)• Competence• “History of play”• “Tying the grabbing hand” (the procedures)• Participation• Transparency
![Page 35: Sustainable development and the need of cooperation Sverker C. Jagers Department of Political Science Gothenburg University](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d555503460f94a3203d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
It takes way much longer time to create trust than to ruin it!!!
![Page 36: Sustainable development and the need of cooperation Sverker C. Jagers Department of Political Science Gothenburg University](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d555503460f94a3203d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Back to where we started• We are today facing a number of enormous – global – social dilemmas.• Sustainable development is a political attempt to cope with the ill-effects of these
dilemmas.• To realise sustainable development requires cooperation• For this cooperation to come about, trust is needed, both between individuals
and institutions.• At present, there are many factors effecting the level of trust most negatively:
– Corruption– Low-quality institutions– Governments’ and institutions’ poor history of play– Uneven power relations– Unevenly distributed ill-effects– Etc,etc
• Clearly, without cooperation, there will neither be any sustainable development, nor any management of these social dilemmas and thus a more or less uncertain future for most of us!
