Pillar 5
Political economy perspectives
Map the distribution of benefits and burdens in sustainability transitions, with particular attention to gender, vulnerable groups, and socio-economic hierarchies.
Rural-urban dynamics
Examine how governance structures respond to or exacerbate inequalities between rural and urban areas, affecting resource allocation and policy focus.
Health and social services
Analyze the political prioritization of healthcare (including neglected diseases, mental health), the influence of donor withdrawal (e.g., USAID), and decolonizing health systems in the Global South.
Youth and post-conflict contexts
Investigate the intersections of youth unemployment, post-conflict reconstruction, and sustainable development imperatives.
