Lawyers are engineers and architects of contractual frameworks -- arguably equally important as those actually building the physical infrastructure and those financing it. Contracts are part of adequate legal governance that is considered one of the preconditions to be in place for effectively managing and finishing projects. In increasingly complex infrastructure development parties rely more and more on contracts when dealing with setbacks and claims. However, building complex infrastructure is not without challenges and the same is true for designing adequate contracts. Research shows that contracts often fail to provide the cooperation that is required to realize projects successfully, instead, they tend to fuel disputes and lead to costly litigation, delay, cost overruns, and sometimes to cancellation of projects. This article discusses how contracts perform as governance structures and how lawyers' can -- by their choice of contract design -- impede or foster cooperative contracting behavior. An analysis of the literature on contract design and lawyers' roles in contract design shows a lack of attention paid to cooperation. It then explains the dynamic between formal and informal governance and makes an argument for the potential benefits of taking into account non-legal drivers when designing the contractual environment. The latter part of the article suggests a new framework that lawyers might use to identify tensions between formal and informal governance structures. In addition, it maps the way certain design techniques can enhance cooperation by foreshadowing and eliminating these tensions when drafting contracts for infrastructure projects. The proposed steps can be utilized by lawyers as points of departure for tailoring contracts to the contract parties' 'cooperation preferences'. This article hopes to have a significant, beneficial impact on the role lawyers can have to help pave the way for the creation of physical structures for a modern, healthy, and prosperous society.

From one of the leading policy experts of our time, an urgent rethinking of how we can better support each other to thrive Whether we realize it or not, all of us participate in the social contract every day through mutual obligations among our family, community, place of work, and fellow citizens. Caring for others, paying taxes, and benefiting from public services define the social contract that supports and binds us together as a society. Today, however, our social contract has been broken by changing gender roles, technology, new models of work, aging, and the perils of climate change. Minouche Shafik takes us through stages of life we all experience—raising children, getting educated, falling ill, working, growing old—and shows how a reordering of our societies is possible. Drawing on evidence and examples from around the world, she shows how every country can provide citizens with the basics to have a decent life and be able to contribute to society. But we owe each other more than this. A more generous and inclusive society would also share more risks collectively and ask everyone to contribute for as long as they can so that everyone can fulfill their potential. What We Owe Each Other identifies the key elements of a better social contract that recognizes our interdependencies, supports and invests more in each other, and expects more of individuals in return. Powerful, hopeful, and thought-provoking, What We Owe Each Other provides practical solutions to current challenges and demonstrates how we can build a better society—together.

The permanent building societies of England grew from humble beginnings as a multitude of small and localized institutions in the nineteenth century to become the dominant players in the house mortgage market by the inter-war period. Throughout the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, the movement cultivated an image of being a champion of home ownership for the working classes, but housing historians have questioned whether building societies really lived up to this claim. This study fills a major gap in the historiography of the movement by investigating the class profile of building society members, and how the design of different building societies affected their accessibility, efficiency, and risk-taking practices between 1880 and 1939. These themes are explored using case studies of several building societies from this period and drawing upon extensive archival records. The Building Society Promise shows that building societies did lend to working-class households before the First and Second World Wars, with some societies showing a greater commitment to working-class home ownership than others. What ultimately affected the outreach of individual societies was the quality of information they possessed, which in turn was largely determined by the types of agency networks they used to find and select borrowers. The phenomenal growth of some of these institutions in the inter-war period, however, and the ensuing competition which emerged between them, brought about profound changes in their firm structure which impaired their ability to reach out to lower-income households as efficiently as before. The findings of this research are relevant to both past and present debates about the optimal design of financial institutions in overcoming social exclusion in credit markets, and the deleterious effects that firm growth, market competition, and managerial self-interest can have on their performance and stability.
