This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scale, ambition and approach of the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, and its SDG framework, are unprecedented. The SDGs are global in nature and universally applicable; they consider national contexts, capacities, and levels of development and challenges. SDG 16 was developed from the need to ensure proper actions towards achieving peace, justice and strong institutions to support and guarantee the sustainability of the entire development structure; the national contexts are the basis for its advancement. Global and regional organizations have an important role to play in achieving SDG 16. They can provide support, expertise and knowledge products, and bring together best practices and lessons learned to the operational levels, to better inform all stakeholders for a better, effective, collaborative and coordinated decision-making process. This Discussion Paper was developed with input gathered from official key partner organizations that attended several gatherings to discuss the role of global and regional organizations in the advancement of SDG 16, held using the platform provided by the Inter-Regional Dialogue on Democracy at International IDEA.
Book Synopsis Democracy and Sustainable Development in Nigeria by : Akudo Chinedu Ojoh

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: none, University of Jaume I, language: English, abstract: In contemporary time, democracy has turned out to be the most supported political tool for development and social change, which has attained near global acclaim and admiration by many world leaders. Although it is contestable, the reasons for this vary. First, democracy has gained acceptability as a form of government based on equity and justice. Secondly, it purports to uphold the rule of law, and as well, guarantee the preservation of human rights. As it is assumed that effective strategies adopted and properly implemented by a nation have the tendency to accelerate progress in the development of the said nation, this work examined some strategies for sustainable development in Nigeria. It highlighted existing strategies for development in the country, examined progress and challenges in implementing the strategies, and further identified measures which when adopted and implemented, will likely change the social, economic, and political condition of the country for economic growth and sustainable development.

Download or read book Earth Democracy written by Vandana Shiva and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned environmental activist and physicist Vandana Shiva calls for a radical shift in the values that govern democracies, condemning the role that unrestricted capitalism has played in the destruction of environments and livelihoods. She explores the issues she helped bring to international attention—genetic food engineering, culture theft, and natural resource privatization—uncovering their links to the rising tide of fundamentalism, violence against women, and planetary death. Struggles on the streets of Seattle and Cancun and in homes and farms across the world have yielded a set of principles based on inclusion, nonviolence, reclaiming the commons, and freely sharing the earth’s resources. These ideals, which Dr. Shiva calls “Earth Democracy,” serve as an urgent call to peace and as the basis for a just and sustainable future.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Development and Peace by : Romina Gurashi
Download or read book Sustainable Development and Peace written by Romina Gurashi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-21 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the growing attention that sociology has started to give to environmental issues in terms of peace and social justice. With a focus on sociological theory and its development, it reconstructs the long journey made by the social sciences towards the reconstruction, in a single theoretical paradigm, of the problems associated with the implementation of conditions of peace and sustainability. Beginning from the premise that environmental issues are never purely environmental, but entail political, economic and social implications, Sustainable Development and Peace offers an understanding of where we are heading and how, reflecting on present challenges and possible directions for the future. It will, therefore, appeal to scholars of sociology, social theory, development studies, politics and environmental studies.

Book Synopsis Democracy and Development by : Bernard Berendsen
Download or read book Democracy and Development written by Bernard Berendsen and published by Kit Pub. This book was released on 2008 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses questions like: what comes first, democracy or development; is there a choice between democracy and stability; can democracy be promoted from outside; should we focus on the introduction of democratic institutions or on the promotion of democratic culture and are different cultures equally compatible with democratic systems of government? Finally, should the promotion of democracy be seen as part of regular development co-operation and what are the respective roles of national governments, international organisations and civil society? The book suggests there is a positive relationship between the two: more democracy implies more openness and checks and balances, more accountability and less corruption and all this would be conducive to sustainable development. Based on a series of lectures organised by the Society of International Development (SID), the Netherlands.
Book Synopsis Socio-Economic Democracy and the World Government by : Dhanjoo N Ghista
Download or read book Socio-Economic Democracy and the World Government written by Dhanjoo N Ghista and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004-08-10 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ' In developing an enlightened socio-economic-political environment, this book provides a new socio-economic-political system based on (i) Collective Capitalism (CCP) of cooperatively managed institutions and enterprises, and (ii) a Civilian Democracy (CDM) sans political parties, whereby the most qualified representatives of all the functional sectors of the community get elected to the local legislature. It also specifies a new economic-political structure in the form of autonomous functionally-sustainable communities (FSCs), within regional economic zones (REZs) and self-reliant regional unions (SRUs, such as the EU). This system of FSCs, REZs and SRUs will come under the aegis of (and collectively represented by) a World government, over-seeing the development of a comprehensive charter of human rights and social justice for all the people of the world. The neo-humanistic integrated system of CCP and CDM, to be implemented within FSCs, will provide grass-roots socio-economic-political empowerment, contrary to the system of centralized economic and political governance. This book serves as a valuable teaching, learning, knowledge and research resource for (i) a holistic approach to a sustainable living environment promoting collective welfare, and (ii) a multi-stage road-map towards a world government system for unification of all the communities of the world into one global cooperative. The combined system of socio-economic democracy (involving knowledge and conscientious governance executives elected by and directly representing the various functional sectors of FSCs) and world government will help transform the current undignified north-south socioeconomic order into a democratic and equitable globalization order, for collective social security towards achieving sustainable local and global peace.

There will soon be an enormous demand for books that are concrete and constructive as a decreasing number believe in the dominant system. Ghista's book has the strength of weaving economic and political analysis together.”Johan Galtung Professor of Peace Studies, University of Hawaii, USA Co-Director, TRANSCEND: A Peace and Development Network “Ghista's broad-brush analysis of the world's socio-political systems is not merely radical, or hard-hitting — it is remarkably honest and straightforward … His analysis is a fascinating blend of social and political science, with a visionary zeal … A brave book, with noble objectives — it very much deserves to be read.”Edward Karani Allbless Coudert Brothers LLP (Attorneys-at-Law, Singapore) “This book is written with a deep human compassion for the Fourth Worlds, the persecuted, the poverty-stricken, the marginalized, and the truly destitute in our global society … The scope is majestic: from local self-organized economic units all the way up to global world level government … I applaud Ghista's efforts and hope that he is heard … All I can say is that it is about time someone wrote from this perspective!”Pauline V Rosenau Professor of Management, Policy and Community Health University of Texas — Houston Health Science Center, USA “At a time of profound global change, Ghista is to be warmly congratulated on an invaluable contribution for achieving peace and security in all its diverse aspects — most importantly at grassroots level … This book will become required reading in schools and universities as well as in business, NGO and government circles.”Eirwen Harbottle Widow of the late Brigadier-General Michael Harbottle (Founder of Generals for Peace and Disarmament) Co-Creator of the Centre for International Peacebuilding and the Youth Musical PEACE CHILD '
Book Synopsis Sustainable Development for a Democratic South Africa by : Ken Cole
Download or read book Sustainable Development for a Democratic South Africa written by Ken Cole and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the multi racial elections in April 1994, South Africa has been set on a new course. For a country emerging from 45 years of apartheid democracy should prove to be the vital first step on the path to sustainability and equitability. There are sure to be pitfalls along the way but the potential offered by long-awaited equality is enormous, and realising that potential is the key to the country's chances of achieving sustainable development. This book analyses the changes which are needed and which might result from the new political culture. It discusses the policy requirements necessary for sustainable development and looks at how the economy, regional integration, land reform, the law, local government, NGOs, health care and AIDs prevention, education, and the media will all be affected, drawing on the experience of other countries in Africa which have witnessed the transition to black majority rule. Accessible to general readers as well as to specialists, it provides a comprehensive overview of the issues involved, and a basis for understanding what prospects the future holds for South Africa.
