Description

The Politics of the Sustainable Development Goals: Exploring Legitimacy, Responsibility and Accountability in Global Policy-Making. This book examines the political aspects of sustainable development goal-setting, focusing on the first five years since their adoption by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015. It explores three key concepts - legitimacy, responsibility, and accountability - which are essential for effective policy-making at the global-national nexus. The authors draw on case studies of Ghana, Tanzania, and Sweden to illustrate the challenges faced by countries at different stages of socio-economic development and democratisation. By shedding light on these critical aspects of sustainable development, this book contributes new knowledge to the field of global politics and international organisations. It will be of particular interest to students and scholars of sustainable development, as well as those working in international organisations and global policy-making. The book provides a valuable insight into the complexities of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, and is an important resource for anyone seeking to understand the political processes involved in shaping global policy.
