abstract: 'The expansion of middle-income countries in the global South is now
widely acknowledged as significant for international development
research and practice. But, as yet, scholars have not fully considered
how middle-income countries are responding to the new global goals on
international development (the Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs)
outlined in Agenda 2030. Equally, insufficient attention has been paid
to how - if at all - the SDGs shape domestic development policies and
practices in middle income countries. We ask these questions in Ecuador,
a country that recently moved from being a lower middle income and donor
dependent country to a more autonomous higher middle-income country with
the capacity to promote its own national domestic development approach,
Buen Vivir (in English: living well). Deploying a qualitative case study
methodology and drawing primarily on in-depth semi-structured interviews
conducted with policy makers working in Ecuador''s national government
and in the capital Quito, we show that policy makers'' engagement with
the SDGs is selective, with an emphasis on those goals and targets which
are considered of domestic importance. Both the national government and
Quito''s local government are currently focussing mainly on SDGs 10.2
(breaking inequalities) and 11 (inclusive cities). We demonstrate that,
in practice, how policy makers understand implementation of these
``priority{''''} goals is not consistent; it depends on political
preferences, where policy makers are located in the architecture of
decentralised governance and the context-specific challenges they face.
Evidence from Ecuador suggests that the SDGs cannot be understood as a
single coherent template for development that states will simply adopt.
Rather they should be analysed in the context of a rapidly changing
architecture of global power, shaped by the context-specific nature of
national development challenges and national political structures,
including decentralisation. (C) 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier
