This edited volume brings together specialists from economics, finance, political science and law to examine the SDGs through the combined lenses of geoeconomics and geopolitics. It traces the growing links between global finance, trade and economic diplomacy and the way they shape the international order, and looks at how supranational bodies such as the UN, WTO and IMF support SDG progress across both advanced and developing economies. The book pairs theory with applied case studies, addressing the practical challenges that political tension and shifting global power dynamics pose for sustainable development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrameworks for reading SDG progress through a geoeconomic and geopolitical lens, useful for sovereign and country-risk analysis.\u003cbr\u003eCountry and region case studies (China, Kuwait, Nigeria, Japan, Africa) that translate directly into comparative policy and investment assessment.\u003cbr\u003eCoverage of the role of supranational institutions (UN, WTO, IMF) in setting the frameworks investors and policymakers now work within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1 sets out the geoeconomics and geopolitics landscape, including the historical and epistemological roots of sustainable development, education's role in economic progress, and the effects of overlapping global crises.
