Redefining Development: The Extraordinary Genesis of the Sustainable Development Goals (The Policy and Practice of Governance)

By Patti Londoño and Paula Caballero

Book Overview

This extraordinary first-person story of what can be achieved through informal diplomacy traces the improbably successful struggle to achieve acceptance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - and thus transform the global development agenda = against all odds.Moving from the framing of the SDG concept through the entire negotiation process (including a trove of key documents), Paula Caballero and Patti Londo?o's vibrant narrative provides rare insight into informal diplomacy and multilateralism in action. Their insiders' account provides a unique perspective on how global movements and agendas can be built and impelled forward. Not least, it also serves to prove that just a few committed individuals can generate radical change.
