On the one hand, they have been hailed as the most important initiative ever in international development. On the other hand, they have been described as a great betrayal of human rights and universal values that has contributed to a depoliticization of development. With contributions from scholars from the fields of economics, law, politics, medicine and architecture, this volume sets out to disentangle this debate in both theory and practice. It critically examines the trajectory of the MDGs, the role of human rights in theory and practice, and what criteria might guide the framing of the post-2015 development agenda. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in global agreements on poverty and development.  aMillennium Development GoalsvHuman rights--Economic aspectsvPovertyvGlobalizationvEconomic development--Social aspects  aLangford, Malcolm  aSumner, Andy  aYamin, Alicia Ely  2ddccBK  00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2021-04-13eOverseas Press India Private Limitedg2347.44i2021-03-08l0o323 MIL-p51552r2021-04-13 00:00:00v3306.26w2021-04-13yBK
