Abstract

The SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) were crated following the same logic of the Millenium Development Goals, but changing its emphasis and adding more substance to its core concepts. Unfortunately, current ways of production and the complexity of international society, along with the evolution of the idea of globalization combine to suggest that some of these objectives are presented in an contradictory way, and lack both a more incisive approach in order to be enforceable, while also ignore methods of production and state dependance of market structures. With this in mind, this work will address the idea of globalization in Milton Santos’ “Toward an Other Globalization”, while presenting the main discourse which is addressed in the Sustainable Development Goals.
