The book succinctly presents  the historical context and progress of social development. By reflecting on  the Millennium and Sustainable Development Goals, it discusses the increasing  global relevance of several critical themes and issues such as human rights  and good governance, participation, peace, gender, environment, religion and  spirituality, aging, social protection and partnership. It appreciates the  importance of goals and targets, but calls to look beyond them to visualise  future directions in social development. The book argues that values-driven social development needs to focus on knowledge creation, dissemination and training, draw on multidisciplinary knowledge and professionals, promote conscientious consumption, create less unequal societies and engage in innovation that brings happiness to everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-11-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137445971\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-44598-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 281\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47442096586892,"sku":"9781137445971","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137445971.jpg?v=1775916272","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137445971","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
