Less opposition and more cooperation: contributions for the strengthening of democracy

Abstract

Cooperative advantage is a strategy based on the deprivation of opposition and on unveiling cooperation as the only possible way to face the demands of sustainability imposed by democratic society, allowing improved quality relationships with the environment, building trustworthy contexts, which meet the expectations of all stakeholders in a more optimal manner. Furthermore, it allows the creation of social and economic value, meaning increasing the competitive advantage of the private sector, contributing to the creation of wealth, but at the same time mitigate the unwilling social effects produced by this type of value generation, incorporating other dimensions such as: inclusion, equal opportunities, social justice, organizational equity, deliberative participation, transparency and meritocracy, towards a society that strengthens and improves its democracy.
