“…They also find that increasing democracy improves the marginal effect of GDP per capita growth on reducing poverty, a finding also supported by Akobeng (2016) for countries in SSA. Studying countries in the EU, Jianu et al (2020) find that inequality is less persistent in countries with inclusive institutions, and that social policy instruments and social spending are more effective in countries with inclusive institutions. The global study by Andersson and Palacio Chaverra (2017) also identifies enabling interlinkages between increasing inclusion and reducing poverty.…”

“…A selection of primarily qualitative studies provided evidence of enabling interlinkages between greater participation and inclusion and reducing poverty and income inequality (Akobeng, 2016;Andersson and Palacio Chaverra, 2017;Anyanwu, Erhi jakpor, and Obi, 2016;Fan, Li, Tao, and Yang, 2020;Hill et al, 2016;Jianu, Dobre, Bodislav, Radulescu, and Burlacu, 2020;Nieto-Aleman, Garcia-Alvarez-Coque, Roig-Tierno, and Mas-Verdú, 2019). A further eight studies identify enabling interlinkages between increased participation and inclusion with access to basic services and equal opportunity.…”

This book is a fresh, timely and thought-provoking analysis of this challenging dimension, in particular the policy and institutional innovations required. It is a very welcome and valuable resource." Ambassador David Donoghue, Permanent Representative of Ireland to the UN 2013-2017 and co-facilitator of the UN negotiations on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development "The book provides an excellent analysis of governance mechanisms and policy processes that effectively promote sustainable development. This is extremely important for advancing action on the SDGs, despite the Covid-19 pandemic and increasing pressures of climate change." Prof. Dr. Imme Scholz, Co-Chair of the UN Independent Group of Scientists for the Global Sustainable Development Report 2023 and Co-Chair of the German Sustainability Council (RNE) "This book helps to deepen our understanding of the governance and policy innovations that are needed to support policy coherence across sectors and actors at different levels to deliver on Agenda 2030." Alina Rocha Menocal, Principal Research Fellow at the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) and Director of the global Thinking and Working Community of Practice (TWP CoP) GOVERNING THE INTERLINKAGES BETWEEN THE SDGSGoverning the Interlinkages between the SDGs: Approaches, Opportunities and Challenges identifies the institutional processes, governance mechanisms and policy mixes that are conducive to devising strategies of integrated Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) implementation.The book edited by Anita Breuer, Daniele Malerba, Srinivasa Srigiri, and Pooja Balasu bramanian examines the dedicated policies targeting the SDGs, as well as political and institutional drivers of synergies and trade-offs between the SDGs in selected key areasboth cross-nationally and in specific country contexts. Their analysis moves beyond the focus on links between SDG indicators and targets. Instead, the book takes advantage of recent evidence from the initial imple mentation phase of the SDGs and each chapter explores the question of which political-institutional prerequisites, governance mechanisms, and policy instruments are suited to accelerate the imple mentation of the SDGs. The findings presented are intended to both inform high-level policy debates and to provide orientation for practitioners working on development cooperation. This volume will be of great interest to practitioners and policy makers in the field of sustainable development, as well as academics in the fields of sustainability research, political science, and economics.Anita Breuer is a senior researcher at the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS), leading the inter-disciplinary research project "Implementing the 2030 Agenda: Inte grating Growth, Environment, Equality and Governance".

“…Subornation, misappropriation, nepotism, or the taking of property are all examples of corruption, commonly defined as the exploitation of public or private office for personal benefit [52]. As a result, corruption leads to inefficient resource allocation or waste, raises business costs, worsens economic inequality and poverty, undermines the institutional foundation of the state and its fiscal system, and reduces public trust in the government [56]. Conversely, the informal economy is characterized as an unregistered economic activity that bolsters the GDP by evading tax payments and disregarding regulations [18].…”

In the midst of contemporary global challenges, including the repercussions of the pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, and transitional shifts, a notable surge in attention toward income inequality has materialized, garnering significant focus from both national and international entities. The urgency surrounding this issue is amplified by the imperative need for economic sustainability, recognizing poverty and inequalities as fundamental global security threats. Particularly within Europe, the persistent disparities in living standards, evident across and within countries, serve as potent indicators of enduring poverty and inequality. These concerns underscore potential barriers to the European Union’s pursuit of convergence and cohesion, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which prioritize addressing poverty (SDG 1) and reducing inequalities (SDG 10) for sustainable development. This study aims to scrutinize the dynamics of income inequality, concentrating on post-communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Employing panel data analysis, the research identifies and tests variables influencing income inequality in the region, specifically emphasizing labor market structures, globalization, economic development, and governance mechanisms, which hold particular relevance for the region’s context. The primary findings underscore the potential impact of enhancing these sectors in mitigating income inequality within the specified region. These insights provide a foundation for informed policy-making, presenting opportunities to address and mitigate inequalities effectively. They pave the way for fostering pathways toward greater equality and equitable socio-economic development within post-communist nations, ensuring a more inclusive and sustainable future.

“…Moreover, governance quality was also analyzed in terms of its relationship and correlation with economic growth, quality of life, and population wellbeing. Farkas (2019) classifies EU states based on the quality of governance, while Jianu et al (2020) categorizes the EU member states into clusters considering the concepts of inclusive and exclusive institutions, concluding that inequality remains a real problem in states with extractive institutions, which are real, specific examples of public choice theory, which operate on the basis of logrolling and rent-seeking, without involving voters in the decisions made. These disparities highlighted by the aforementioned studies pose a long-term challenge to the European Union's convergence and integration, considering the need for improvement of both institutions' quality as well as public policy development and implementation.…”

Exploring Rising Income Inequality in the European Union - A Public Choice Approach

This paper aims to analyze the extent to which European Union (EU) member states succeed in diminishing income disparities using their quality of governance in the context of rising income inequality. By using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) nonparametric method, the link between each country's efforts regarding their governance quality and the impact of these efforts on countering growing inequality was uncovered. The data used in this study were collected for the year 2020, for all 27 member states of the European Union. The main findings point out that, on average, EU countries are relatively inefficient, with only three countries achieving high levels of government performance, whose financial policies are reflected in reducing income inequalities, namely: Luxembourg, Cyprus, and Bulgaria. Furthermore, it was concluded that EU veteran states are relatively more effective than those that joined after 2004 in terms of eliminating income disparities through effective governance.
