PREFACE

In a globalized world, the promotion of economic development is a recurrent area of
interest, both in the academic arena as well as in economic policy forums and institutions.
But regarding the levels of development of countries, there are pending issues to be solved.
Trying to offer a response to some of them, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or
the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations balance social, economic and environmental factors
which are in turn the pillars for sustainable economic growth. But in the current
environment, the recent financial and economic crisis has raised questions concerning the
usefulness of several paradigms accepted by both academia and the advising government
institutions.
Economic policies for Development. Beyond the millennium goals offers a broad
overview and comprehensive analysis of the situation, the perspective and the proposals
for the future of the economic policies for development. The chapters cover the most recent
approaches showing to which extent economic policies would overcome a sustainable
economic development. The contents show the current situation and the perspectives of
development theories and policies. And next, the scope of demand-side and supply-side
policies, to achieve economic development, is discussed. The overview is completed with
several examples of how developing countries from the Latin America area are dealing
with the current situation after the economic crisis, in the light of the sustainable
development goals. And those contributions, which offer new theories and practical lessons
stemming from empirical analyses, prove to be useful tools for development policy
recommendations.
