The book looks at three social analytical instruments of particular utility for the cross-national study of the translation and diffusion of global sustainable development discourses in East Asia (China and Japan). It explains the underlying hypothesis that, in the transmission and adaptation of global SDGs in different national contexts, three large groups of social actors encompassing sources of information, mediating actors and socio-industrial end-users form, shape and contribute to the complex, latent networks of social engagement. It illuminates how the distribution within these networks largely determines the level and breadth of the diffusion of global SDGs and their associated environmentalist norms. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in sustainable growth and development, as well as global environmental politics.Sustainable developmentChinaSustainable developmentJapanSustainable developmentCross-cultural studiesTranslating and interpretingSocial aspectsCommunication in economic developmentSustainable developmentSustainable developmentSustainable developmentTranslating and interpretingSocial aspects.Communication in economic development.338.951/07Ji Meng1982-1667902Pope Chris G.OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910814462703321Translation and the sustainable development goals4028091UNINA
