Governing through Goals : Sustainable Development Goals as Governance Innovation
A detailed examination of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the shift in governance strategy they represent. In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Sustainable Development Goals as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.The Sustainable Development Goals built on and broadened the earlier Millennium Development Goals, but they also signaled a larger shift in governance strategies.The seventeen goals add detailed content to the concept of sustainable development, identify specific targets for each goal, and help frame a broader, more coherent, and transformative 2030 agenda.The Sustainable Development Goals aim to build a universal, integrated framework for action that reflects the economic, social, and planetary complexities of the twenty-first century.This book examines in detail the core characteristics of goal setting, asking when it is an appropriate governance strategy and how it differs from other approaches; analyzes the conditions under which a goal-oriented agenda can enable progress toward desired ends; and considers the practical challenges in implementation.

What is the function of governance?
The function of governance is to provide a framework for decision-making, setting and implementing policies, and ensuring accountability within an organization or society.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of global governance?
Global governance has the advantage of promoting cooperation and coordination among countries to address global challenges such as climate change, pandemics, and terrorism. It can help establish common standards and regulations to ensure a level playing field for all nations. However, one disadvantage is that it can sometimes infringe on national sovereignty and limit a country's ability to make independent decisions. Additionally, global governance structures can be slow-moving and bureaucratic, making it difficult to respond quickly to emerging issues.
-
What are the advantages and disadvantages of authoritarian governance?
Authoritarian governance can lead to quick decision-making and implementation of policies, as power is concentrated in the hands of a few individuals. This can sometimes result in stability and efficiency in governance. However, the lack of checks and balances in authoritarian systems can lead to abuse of power, suppression of dissent, and limited political freedoms for citizens. Additionally, authoritarian regimes often struggle with legitimacy and can face challenges in fostering long-term economic and social development.

What forms of governance existed in the Neolithic (Stone Age)?
In the Neolithic period, forms of governance were typically based on kinship and tribal structures. Leadership was often held by elders or individuals with specialized skills, such as hunting or farming. Decision-making was likely based on consensus within the community, with leaders acting as mediators and arbitrators. As societies became more complex, some Neolithic communities may have developed more centralized forms of governance, with leaders or councils holding authority over larger groups of people.

Public and Private Governance of Cybersecurity : Challenges and Potential
This book examines, through the interdisciplinary lenses of international relations and law, the limitations of cybersecurity governance frameworks and proposes solutions to address new cybersecurity challenges.It approaches different angles of cybersecurity regulation, showing the importance of dichotomies as state vs market, public vs private, and international vs domestic.It critically analyses two dominant Internet regulation models, labelled as market-oriented and state-oriented.It pays particular attention to the role of private actors in cyber governance and contrasts the different motivations and modus operandi of different actors and states, including in the domains of public-private partnerships, international data transfers, regulation of international trade and foreign direct investments.The book also examines key global (within the United Nations) and regional efforts to regulate cybersecurity and explains the limits of domestic and international law in tackling cyberattacks.Finally, it demonstrates how geopolitical considerations and different approaches to human rights shape cybersecurity governance.

Gender, Development and Environmental Governance : Theorizing Connections
A major challenge in studies of environmental governance is dealing with the diversity of the people involved at multiple levels – villagers, development agents, policy-makers, private resource users and others – and taking seriously their aspirations, conflicts and collaborations.This book examines this challenge in two very disparate parts of our world, exploring what gender-equality, resource management and development mean in real terms for its inhabitants as well as for our environmental futures. Based on participatory research and in-depth fieldwork, Arora-Jonsson studies struggles for local forest management, the making of women’s groups within them and how the women’s groups became a threat to mainstream institutions.Insights from India, consistently ranked as one of the most gender-biased countries, are compared with similar situations in the ostensibly gender-equal Sweden.Arora-Jonsson also analyzes how dominant ideas about the environment, development and gender equality shape the spaces in which women and men take action through global discourses and grassroots activism. Questioning the conventional belief that development brings about greater gender equality and more efficient environmental management, this volume scrutinizes how environmental imaginations are key to crafting gender relations.It shows gender to be at the heart of environmental negotiations while at the same time making a case for environmental sensibilities as integral to gender relations.At the confluence of development, environmental and gender studies, the book contributes to a much-needed dialogue between these fields, proposing new futures in environmental management.

What are the differences in terms of difficulty level, salary, etc. between cybersecurity and software development?
Cybersecurity and software development are both in-demand fields with their own unique challenges and rewards. In terms of difficulty level, cybersecurity can be more complex as it involves protecting systems and networks from constantly evolving threats, while software development requires strong problem-solving and coding skills. In terms of salary, cybersecurity professionals tend to earn higher salaries due to the specialized nature of their work and the high demand for their skills. However, software developers also command competitive salaries, especially as they gain experience and expertise in specific programming languages or technologies. Both fields offer opportunities for growth and advancement, and individuals should consider their interests and strengths when choosing a career path.

To what extent are wars, poor governance, natural disasters, climate change, and other such factors related to hunger?
Wars, poor governance, natural disasters, climate change, and other factors are closely related to hunger. Wars can disrupt food production and distribution, leading to food shortages. Poor governance can result in mismanagement of resources and lack of access to food for vulnerable populations. Natural disasters can destroy crops and infrastructure, exacerbating food insecurity. Climate change can lead to unpredictable weather patterns, affecting agricultural productivity. These factors can create a vicious cycle of poverty and hunger, making it difficult for communities to break free from the cycle of food insecurity.
