THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
Da 29.10.2018 a 30.10.2018
The Sustainable Development Goals in global perspective
Agenda
for International Development (A-id) and the Scuola’s DIRPOLIS
Institute will host an international conference exploring various
dimensions of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) debate.
When
the SDGs were adopted in 2015, there was a lot of consternation among
global development leaders about the large number of goals (17), targets
(169) and the complexity of the framework. The idea of setting such
ambitious goals was seen by many as tantamount to making the whole
approach a fruitless exercise. With so many objectives, the thinking
went, the advocacy community would not be able to focus attention on any
of them.
Indeed, the SDGs cover a large number of social and
economic development issues including energy, urbanization, water,
environment and social justice, but also poverty, hunger, health,
education, climate change, gender equality. Clearly, a considerable
amount of theoretical and practical challenges need to be tackled in
order to assist policy- and decision-makers in their effort to translate
theory into practice.
At the heart of this conference, there is
the belief that, to capture the complexity of the SDGs, there is a need
to bridge different academic disciplines, vernacular knowledge and local
expertise. In this intellectual milieu, A-id and Scuola Superiore
Sant’Anna invite practitioners and scholars from development studies,
economics, public policy, law, political science, political theory,
social policy, and sociology to submit abstracts and articles examining
different aspects of the SDGs.
The conference will be held at the premises of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, on 29-30 October 2018.

Spagnuolo or Dr. Chiara Macchi.
