Transformation of Governance for Sustainable Development

The urgency for transformation in governance is imperative to address the multi-faceted challenges impeding sustainable development. Particularly for the BRICS nations, the integration of comprehensive governance mechanisms can catalyze economic health and social progress. This book explores the concept of "integrative governance" in the context of BRICS countries, highlighting its potential to reconcile rapid economic growth with sustainable development. Integrative governance, rooted in inclusivity and adaptability, encompasses diverse domains such as participatory governance, human capital development, and macroeconomic stability. It provides insights into how BRICS nations can leverage governance to mitigate poverty, inequality, bolster rural development, and enhance social welfare. The book will focus on thematic successes and challenges observed in BRICS nations, with a particular focus on participatory governance, human capital and health, macroeconomic and debt management, urban local economic development, and technological advancement in governance. The book adopts a call for papers approach, promoting a transformative agenda in line with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact and promoting sustainable development.
