the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is one of the most ambitious goals that people have ever set for themselves. These goals are meant to end poverty,protect the environment, and make sure everyone is doing well by 2030. But now that we?ve passed the halfway point on this schedule, a very important question comes up: are the SDGs making it easier for people to get what they need from their governments? The edited book Sustainable Development Goals: Bridging Policy, Practice, and People tries to answer these kinds of questions by using evidence-based, analytical, and comparative thinking. The book?s goal is to go beyond happy stories and really think about the problems, contra-dictions, and unfairness that are part of the SDG conversation. The SDGs have led to more cooperation between countries than ever before and have inspired new ways to act. However,they also show how weak our current institutions are in terms of the economy, society, and the environment. The promise of inclusion often goes against the way power is set up, how resourc-es are shared, and how well things are put into action. The authors of this collection put their analyses in the middle of these tensions. The chapters in this book together show how hard it is to make development sustainable. Each contribution goes deeper into progress indicators, from rethinking how to get rid of poverty in a world where wealth gaps are growing to questioning hunger in a world where there is plenty of food, and from health inequalities that are hidden by the phrase ?health for all? to educa-tion that goes beyond access to quality and fairness. The discussions about gender equality,switching to renewable energy, and good jobs show even more how hard it is to make policies that work in the real world.
First, whether at the state or central level,no administration can function without aligning with the political power center. There-fore, the constitutional authority or power of the state or center inevitably in?uences the administrative system. Second, especially after globalization, the role of administration in shaping political dynamics and its connection with broader society has signi?cantly increased. Before globalization, the government?s role in controlling the economy was more extensive. However, as the government?s economic control started to shrink, elected representatives began to focus on formulating populist policies that would maintain their presence and appeal to a larger electorate, all while keeping the administrative structure intact. Consequently, we are moving towards a system where policymaking will become more important than administrative execution.

This book was born out of a desire to explore the signi?cant shifts in employee behaviour and organizational challenges that have come to de?ne the modern workplace. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated many underlying trends, bringing phenomena such as the great-resignation, moonlighting, toxic leadership, and quiet-quitting to the forefront of organizational discourse. Through detailed case studies and critical analysis, this book examines how these trends impact employees and employers alike, offering strategies to mitigate risks and capitalize on opportunities. The chapters are designed to engage readers with discussion questions that encourage re?ection and application. Our goal is to provide both scholars and practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of these evolving workplace dynamics and equip them with practical tools to foster positive organizational cultures and sustainable talent management practices. References to events, news and data are based on secondary data and information available through media and scholarly publications. A proper reference to all such sources has been made. The intention is to generate academic discussion around the phenomenon and not to comment on the company dynamics as such. We want to thank all those who contributed insights, data, and feedback during the development of this book. We hope this work inspires constructive conversations and innovative solutions for the future of work.
This book delves into intersections and ambiguous terrain of ethics. It includes compre-hensive discussion on ethics and the protection of human dignity vis-à-vis human rights,the chapters address ethical dilemmas that resonate deeply with healthcare professionals. The topic ofconsent—which lies at the heart of every patient-practitioner relationship—has evolved signi?cantly, shifting the focus from mere procedural formality to an essential expression of a patient’s autonomy and rights.

In addressing bioethics, this book o?ers a deep dive into the moral principles governing healthcare practices, highlighting how these principles are utilized in practice.Human dignity, often tested by bioethical challenges, is explored in relation tohuman rights, emphasizing the balance between technological advancements and the preservation of fun- damental values.
