商品描述

The book presents the experiences, complexities, and contradictions of the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in Brazil so far. Through chapters from a variety of stakeholders, the book examines national, regional, and local aspects of development in Brazil. The chapters here draw from scientific knowledge and practical experience to take a critical look at what the SDGs mean in a Global South country and what the implications of this are for global development.

The book is divided into three sections. The first section addresses the critical political and institutional aspects related to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in Brazil, highlighting advances as well as pitfalls and setbacks. The chapters look at broad questions related to the role of civil society in defining political priorities and strategies to move forward with the SDGs as well as issues involved in incorporating the SDGs at different levels of government and other institutions. The chapters in this section critically address the political and institutional advances as well as barriers to the progress of the SDGs in Brazil.

The second section directly addresses progress made toward the SDGs in the context of the political, economic and social variables specific to Brazil. The chapters address critical shortcomings and demands for Brazilian society: the need for improvements in the education and employment policies to reduce poverty, the urgent need to increase gender equality and reduce violence, as well as the imperative to strengthen institutions and policies to mitigate climate change and protect the environment.

The final section focuses on critically assessing the 2030 Agenda itself, drawing from a Global South IR perspective. The chapters here dialog with decolonial and post-developmentalist perspectives to highlight problems with the agenda and lift up sidelined priorities, presenting yet-unexamined policy solutions and innovations that are currently absent from the global institutional agenda. The Brazilian case is perfect illustration of how how underdevelopment and political instability can constrain the paths to sustainable development, while at the same time social innovations, leverages based on regional dynamics, and strength from social and cultural diversity can drive sustained progress.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書呈現了迄今為止在巴西實施聯合國可持續發展目標的經驗、複雜性和矛盾。透過來自各種利益相關者的章節,本書檢視了巴西在國家、區域和地方層面的發展。這些章節結合科學知識和實務經驗,對可持續發展目標在全球南方國家的意義進行批判性分析,並探討這對全球發展的影響。

本書分為三個部分。第一部分探討與巴西可持續發展目標實施相關的關鍵政治和制度性問題,強調進展以及陷阱和挫折。這些章節關注與公民社會在定義政治優先事項和推進可持續發展目標的策略相關的廣泛問題,以及在不同政府層級和其他機構中納入可持續發展目標所涉及的問題。本部分的章節批判性地探討了巴西在可持續發展目標進展中的政治和制度性進展以及障礙。

第二部分直接針對在巴西特有的政治、經濟和社會變數背景下,朝向可持續發展目標所取得的進展。這些章節探討了巴西社會的關鍵缺失和需求:改善教育和就業政策以減少貧困的必要性、迫切需要提高性別平等和減少暴力,以及加強機構和政策以緩解氣候變化和保護環境的迫切性。

最後一部分專注於批判性評估2030年議程,並從全球南方的國際關係視角出發。這裡的章節與去殖民化和後發展主義的觀點對話,突顯議程中的問題並提出被忽視的優先事項,展示目前全球制度議程中缺乏的尚未檢視的政策解決方案和創新。巴西的案例完美地說明了如何在發展不足和政治不穩定的情況下限制可持續發展的道路,同時社會創新、基於區域動態的杠桿以及社會和文化多樣性的力量可以推動持續進步。
