ABOUT
Center for Partnership Systems
The Center for Partnership Systems (CPS) is dedicated to transforming outdated domination systems that shape our political, economic, and cultural structures. By advocating for a shift from these restrictive models to partnership-based systems, CPS promotes collective action and innovative economic thinking.
Their approach, inspired by Dr. Riane Eisler’s groundbreaking work, reimagines human potential and nurtures systems that prioritise both people and the planet. Through this shift, CPS aims to address the failures of current systems and build a more equitable and sustainable world.

Let’s care for one another, nature, and our collective future.
This is what caring economics of Partnerism values and rewards. This is where we start.
CPS’s mission alligns with ours: to drive the shift towards partnership systems across society. They do this through research, education, grassroots action, and policy changes. Their programmes champion human rights, nonviolence, gender and racial equity, child development, and new ways to measure the value of care work.
