越来越多的人呼吁重新构建减贫政治，特别是社会保护政治，将“社会契约”扩大到最贫穷的群体。这通常被理解为在更广泛的权利和正义政治项目中重新安排社会保护，而不是赞助。然而，这种呼吁掩盖了不同社会契约之间以及从这些不同方法可能出现的社会保护形式之间存在的严重差异。非洲的经验表明，合同办法既可以采取倒退的形式，也可以采取进步的形式。如果不对目前援助的运作方式进行重大改革，国际发展机构似乎不太可能推动围绕社会保护的进步社会契约。
There have been growing calls to reframe the politics of poverty reduction and of social protection in particular, in terms of extending the 'social contract' to the poorest groups. This is often understood as relocating social protection within a broader project politics of rights and justice as opposed to patronage. However, such calls belie the serious differences that exist between different strands of social contract and between the forms of social protection that might emerge from these different approaches. The experience in Africa suggests that contractual approaches may take regressive as well as progressive forms. It seems unlikely that international development agencies could promote progressive social contracts around social protection without significant reforms to the way in which aid currently works.
