About this book
This open access book conceptualises the Sustainable Development Goals as epistemic infrastructures that connect numbers, networks and governing paradigms.The book approaches quantification not merely as a tool for governing, but rather as a broader epistemic system through which global public policy is produced. This book focuses on the role of international organisations in shaping and implementing the 2030 Agenda and demonstrates how the SDGs have transformed and accelerated trends in quantification.
Reviews
“In this well researched investigation of the SDGs, Justyna Bandola, Sotiria Grek and Marlee Tichenor unpack the complex interplay of actors, measurements, inter-relationships and policy making through indicators. This is an important contribution that advances the study of indicators as they increasingly shape global governance institutions.” (Sakiko Fukuda-Parr, Professor of International Affairs, The New School, USA)
