The potential for tackling inequality in the Sustainable Development Goals

Katja Freistein and Bettina Mahlert

Third World Quarterly, 2016, vol. 37, issue 12, 2139-2155

Abstract: The recently passed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) encompass a variety of explicit and implicit goals that address inequality. Although formulations remain vague and targets abstract, the SDGs go much further than previous development goals in addressing inequality as a central issue. Against the background of insights from inequality research, the article assesses their potential to become discursive resources for fundamental reforms of established development ideas.
