Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify the role of the social contract as a factor influencing the redistribution of resources within the framework of international economic integration, the effectiveness of creating a common market, solving the problems of ensuring the sustainability of economic growth, inequality and unemployment. In the course of the work, it was scientifically substantiated that the effectiveness of international economic integration depends on the presence of a social contract at the supranational level, supported by the possibility of distributing part of the rent not only by the state, but also directly by the integration association, as well as the possibility of creating supranational inclusive institutions within the framework of a common market of goods, capital and labor.
