Description

Explore the transformative impact of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) through this insightful study by Routledge. This book examines how the shift toward global goals and quantitative targets has changed the landscape of international development. By focusing on the power of numbers to shape global agendas, the text investigates how target setting affects the policy priorities of national governments, bilateral donors, multilateral agencies, and NGOs. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the effectiveness of numeric indicators and how quantification changes the way we define global challenges. The book looks at both the intended results and the unintended consequences of this quantitative approach. It is a necessary resource for those studying how data and metrics influence the decisions of various stakeholders in the global arena. Whether you are researching social sciences, anthropology, or international policy, this work provides a clear look at the modern methods used to define and address global priorities.
