The Politics Behind the SDGs
The papers in this open access special issue investigate the politics that shaped the SDGs, the setting of the goals and the selection of the measurement methods.

This raises questions about ‘data for whom and for what’.

Consultation: Economic, Social & Cultural Rights Bill
The UK has voluntarily subscribed to a number of international treaties that say that everyone living in the country is entitled to the right to adequate housing, the right to health, the right to social security and other socio-economic rights. But unlike other countries, by and large these rights have not been incorporated in domestic law. The University of Newcastle have launched a consultation on an Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Bill that they've developed together with colleagues from other universities and from civil society.
