Abstract

This review examines the promises and pitfalls of multistakeholder partnerships (MSPs) for sustainable development. We take stock of the literature on the creation, effectiveness, and legitimacy of MSPs and focus on recent research on MSPs committed to achieving the 2030 Agenda and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 2030 Agenda conceives of MSPs as vehicles to achieve large-scale sustainability transformations. Yet, research on MSPs under earlier sustainable development initiatives found that they had limited effectiveness and significant legitimacy deficits. We show that recent research on SDG partnerships suggests they reproduce many of the shortcomings of their predecessors and so are unlikely to foster synergies and minimize trade-offs between areas of sustainable development to deliver transformations on a global scale. We also examine recent research on the prospects of governing MSPs to enhance accountability and ensure better institutional designs for achieving transformations, highlighting challenges arising from international political contestation.
促进可持续发展的多方利益攸关方伙伴关系:承诺与陷阱
本综述探讨了多方利益相关者伙伴关系(MSPs)对可持续发展的承诺和缺陷。我们对有关多边利益相关方伙伴关系的创建、有效性和合法性的文献进行了总结,并重点关注近期有关致力于实现《2030 年议程》和联合国可持续发展目标(SDGs)的多边利益相关方伙伴关系的研究。2030 年议程》将中等规模企业视为实现大规模可持续性转型的工具。然而,对早期可持续发展倡议下的多边合作机制的研究发现,这些机制的有效性有限,且存在严重的合法性缺陷。我们表明,最近对可持续发展目标伙伴关系的研究表明,它们重复了其前身的许多缺点,因此不太可能促进可持续发展领域之间的协同作用和最小化权衡,从而在全球范围内实现转型。我们还考察了最近关于管理多边伙伴关系的前景的研究,以加强问责制并确保更好的制度设计来实现转型,同时强调了国际政治竞争带来的挑战。
