Summary

This open access book conceptualises the Sustainable Development Goals as epistemic infrastructures that connect numbers, networks and governing paradigms.The book approaches quantification not merely as a tool for governing, but rather as a broader epistemic system through which global public policy is produced. This book focuses on the role of international organisations in shaping and implementing the 2030 Agenda and demonstrates how the SDGs have transformed and accelerated trends in quantification. Justyna Bandola-Gill is a Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh and Associate Director of the Centre for Science, Knowledge and Policy (SKAPE). Sotiria Grek is Professor of European and Global Education Governance at the School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh. . Marlee Tichenor is a medical anthropologist and a Lecturer in the Department of Anthropology at Durham University. .
