SDG 17 Partnerships for the Goals (Paperback)

Paperback. This book compiles academic chapters focused on Sustainable Development Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), blending perspectives from mathematics, economics, public administration, literature, and social work. Originating from contributors at Madras Christian College and Chennai-based institutions, the volume emphasizes global collaboration and innovation in developing contexts like India. The content explores SDG 17 through diverse lenses, including computational mathematics as a tool for innovation, capacity building between nations, and the digital divide's impact on Indian partnerships. Chapters address ethical challenges in data sharing, pedagogical shifts in math education, literary analyses of female empowerment, and historical governance parallels-ranging from the Chola dynasty to modern Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). A unifying thread is the necessity of multi-stakeholder cooperation to overcome technology gaps, inequality, and institutional weaknesses. Ideal for academics, policymakers, and practitioners interested in India-centric development, the book offers practical insights on technology transfer, equity, and local-global linkages. This book is part of the Interdisciplinary Book Publication Drive 2026, an initiative of the Office of Research & Development, Madras Christian College, reaffirming our dedication to academic scholarship and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
