Exploring the increasing role of the private sector in sustainable development. An analysis through the lens of norm development in International Relations.

Master thesis | International Relations (MA)

This research explores the increasing role and the importance of the private sector in sustainable development through the lens of norm development within the study of International Relations. By examining different summits between the adoption of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2000 to the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in 2015, it is seen that the increasing role of the private sector can be understood as a dynamic norm that is shaped and reshaped throughout its evolvement. In such, the research provides a better understanding of how the norm is constantly being defined and redefined, thus finding relevance and meaning throughout its emergence.
