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. 606 $aSustainable development$zChina 606 $aSustainable development$zJapan 606 $aSustainable development$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aTranslating and interpreting$xSocial aspects 606 $aCommunication in economic development 615 0$aSustainable development 615 0$aSustainable development 615 0$aSustainable development 615 0$aTranslating and interpreting$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aCommunication in economic development. 676 $a338.951/07 700 $aJi$b Meng$f1982-$01546312 702 $aPope$b Chris G. 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793494503321 996 $aTranslation and the sustainable development goals$93801820 997 $aUNINA
