Reihe: The International Political Economy of New Regionalisms Series

Millennium development goals (MDGs) and sustainable development goals (SDGs) have significant implications for global development and in particular for African countries. This volume seeks to interrogate the relationship between the MDGs and SDGs in key areas of African development by weaving together a collection of nuanced essays to enhance our understanding and knowledge of the evolving nature of development. Contributors interrogate issues of agriculture, gender, infrastructure, technology and urbanization as well as emerging issues such as climate change, conflict and non-traditional security. The varied, yet interlinked foci present a holistic overview of Africa’s development aspirations, and ability to transform the SDGs’ universal aspirations into local realities.
