Robert Walker provides a critical examination of the promise and
reality of SDG1, the United Nations’ Social Development Goal
designed, among other things, to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030.
The author’s message is stark: there is little chance of success.
Although the need for a collective and coordinated response is
clear, global and national systems of governance are currently
incapable of an adequate response. While the critique is
formidable, the book seeks to identify reforms necessary to
meaningfully increase the likelihood of meeting SDG1’s goals.
These include reshaping international institutions so that they
give greater voice to governments in the developing world,
facilitating enhanced modes of participatory governance, and
increasing democratic accountability at a global level. Evidence is
drawn throughout from a systematic review of international best
practice supplemented by more detailed strategic case-studies,
including from China.
