Governing the Interlinkages between the SDGs: Approaches,
Opportunities and Challenges identifies the institutional
processes, governance mechanisms and policy mixes that are
conducive to devising strategies of integrated Sustainable
Development Goal (SDG) implementation. The book edited by Anita
Breuer, Daniele Malerba, Srinivasa Srigiri and Pooja
Balasubramanian examines the dedicated policies targeting the SDGs,
as well as political and institutional drivers of synergies and
trade-offs between the SDGs in selected key areas - both
cross-nationally and in specific country contexts. Their analysis
moves beyond the focus on links between SDG indicators and targets.
Instead, the book takes advantage of recent evidence from the
initial implementation phase of the SDGs and each chapter explores
the question of which political-institutional prerequisites,
governance mechanisms and policy instruments are suited to
accelerate the implementation of the SDGs. The findings presented
are intended to both inform high-level policy debates and to
provide orientation for practitioners working on development
cooperation. This volume will be of great interest to practitioners
and policy makers in the field of sustainable development, as well
as academics in the fields of sustainability research, political
science, and economics.
This book is the first to comprehensively analyse the political and
societal impacts of new Information and Communication Technologies
(ICT) in a region of the Global South. It evaluates under what
conditions some Latin American governments and people have
succeeded in taking up the opportunities related to the spread of
ICTs, while others are confronted with the pessimist scenario of
increased, digitally induced social and democratic cleavages.
Specifically, the book examines if and how far the spread and use
of new ICT affected central aims of democratic governance such as
reducing socio-economic and gender inequality; strengthening
citizen participation in political decision making; increasing the
transparency of legislative processes; improving administrative
processes; providing free access to government data and
information; and expanding independent spaces of citizen
communication. The country case and cross-country explore a range
of bottom-up driven initiatives to reinforce democracy in the
region. The book offers researchers and students an
interdisciplinary approach to these issues by linking it to
established theories of media and politics, political
communication, political participation, and governance. Giving
voice to researchers native to the region and with direct
experience of the region, it uniquely brings together contributions
from political scientists, researchers in communication studies and
area studies specialists who have a solid record in political
activism and international development co-operation.
