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. The choice of indicators is seemingly a technical issue, but the authors show how measurement methods interpret and reinterpret norms, carry value judgements, theoretical assumptions, and implicit political agendas. This raises questions about ‘data for whom and for what’.
