Objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável e internacionalização de Uberlândia

Abstract

New themes emerged with globalization and global interdependence which made it impossible for the national state to act effectively in all areas of society. Thus, subnational actors (governmental or non-governmental) become more active and assume a role of greater political relevance. Cities, due to their capacity for action and local influence, now have greater autonomy and seek their international insertion to remain competitive and attract investment. These subnational actors also deal with social and transnational issues, such as the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In this sense, we intend to analyze how the Municipality of Uberlândia has been implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals in its municipal programs and projects, and how the degree of implementation and its future perspective relate to the concern and search for the internationalization of the city. The case study will be analyzed under the concepts of Multilevel Governance and Internationalization of Cities.
