Abstract: Abstract At a time when the development community is grappling with the challenge of raising the required investment for attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), countries’ mobilization of their own domestic resources for development is receiving ever-increasing attention. Hujo and Bangura present key issues and trends related to domestic resource mobilization for social development, the conceptual framework for the research, and the structure and contents of the volume. An integrated political economy analysis of financing and expenditure policies is used. The authors argue that understanding the politics of domestic resource mobilization, processes of contestation and bargaining, and key relationships and institutions are all crucial for creating a transformative fiscal compact for sustainable development.
