Abstract:
Past decades have witnessed an upsurge in the use of global performance indicators (GPIs) to influence state behaviour. Within international development, the millennium development goals (MDGs) introduced an era of indicator-based governance, which now continues with the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The article provides a theoretical and empirical account of the workings and effectiveness of GPI-based development governance. Focusing on MDG 3, which concerned gender equality, the article presents the results of (1) a mapping of GPI adjustment, and (2) a study of the causal mechanisms of gender policy change.
Keywords:
Development policy; Gender equality; Global performance indicators (GPI); Millennium development goals (MDG); Process-tracing
