- Summary:
- "This book analyzes the politics of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and counters mainstream feelgood accounts of this agenda. Conventional wisdom says that efforts to achieve the SDGs contribute to building a more inclusive, sustainable and peaceful world. This book counters this orthodox and utopian view, uncovering the hidden politics of the project. Sneyd analyzes each of the seventeen goals and their targets and indicators. He argues that the SDG project does more to bolster the status quo than to address pressing global challenges"-- Provided by publisher
