BARRERO-BARRERO, David  and  BAQUERO-VALDES, Fabio. Sustainable development goals: a post-modern social contract for justice, development, and security. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.29, pp.113-137.  Epub Aug 28, 2020. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.562.

This article reflects on the contrast between justice and the social contract in the globalized world of the 21st century, which faces increasing insecurity and the expectations of sustainable development. It exposes the causes for the widespread global distrust that has been growing since the middle of the last century and is affecting the prospects of a safe world headed to sustainable development. It presents the agreement of the post-modern social contract in the Objectives of Sustainable Development (ODS) as the last opportunity to redirect the egalitarian coexistence of humanity, without compromising the next generations, as John Rawls indicates. It also stresses the importance of certainty in the development and security set out in these objectives as an essential characteristic of post-modernity.

Keywords : economic and social development; equity; globalization; post-modernity; security; social contract.
