Beskrivning

In September 2015, world leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a distinctive approach to development that moves away from a narrow perspective on economic development to an integrative agenda that simultaneously pursues ecological, social and economic goals. Trade and foreign investment are important economic vectors through which many of these goals can be achieved. Much depends, however, on whether and how SDGs are incorporated in international trade and investment agreements, and in private or public sector initiatives. Policymakers are also confronted with the interdependence of the SDGs which raises difficult trade-offs between various Goals. The contributions in this book explore the penetration and trade-offs of the SDGs, drawing on a multi-disciplinary approach incorporating insights from economists, lawyers and political scientists. The book offers a valuable guide for scholars and policy makers in identifying and evaluating the complex challenges related to sustainable development.

Recensioner i media

'The perfect sequel to Kurtz's classic The WTO and International Investment Law, but this time converging issues between the trade and investment regimes, on one hand, and sustainable-development goals (SDGs), on the other hand. Beverelli, Kurtz, and Raess offer a pragmatic, case-study-based, interdisciplinary, and comprehensive collection of essays on how to conquer the dungeon of the 2030 Agenda for Development via trade and investment. This is state-of-the-art reading for academics as well as policy-makers who want to avail themselves of the fundamental vectors of development in a post-COVID-19 sustainable world.' Makane Moïse Mbengue, Professor of International Law, University of Geneva and Sciences Po Paris
