This book offers insight into the use of empirical diffusionist
models for analysis of cross-cultural and cross-national
communication, translation and adaptation of the United Nation's
(UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The book looks at three
social analytical instruments of particular utility for the
cross-national study of the translation and diffusion of global
sustainable development discourses in East Asia (China and Japan).
It explains the underlying hypothesis that, in the transmission and
adaptation of global SDGs in different national contexts, three
large groups of social actors encompassing sources of information,
mediating actors and socio-industrial end-users form, shape and
contribute to the complex, latent networks of social engagement. It
illuminates how the distribution within these networks largely
determines the level and breadth of the diffusion of global SDGs
and their associated environmentalist norms. This book is an
essential read for anyone interested in sustainable growth and
development, as well as global environmental politics.
