description Kestävän kehityksen tavoitteet voidaan tulkita länsihegemonian jatkeeksi lukemalla Agenda 2030 julistusta Coxilaisen käsitteellisen analyysin kautta. Tämän kandidaatin tutkielman hypoteesi on se, että Agenda 2030 sisältää länsihegemonian elementtejä, kuten länsimaisten arvojen ajaminen. Näitä arvoja ja normeja ovat esimerkiksi demokratia, talousajattelun painotus sekä tasa-arvo. Tutkielman tutkimuskysymyksiä ovat “Onko kestävän kehityksen tavoitteissa länsihegemonian elementtejä?” sekä “Kuinka länsihegemonisuus on läsnä kestävän kehityksen tavoitteissa?”. Vastaukset näihin saavutetaan ensin tarkastelemalla hegemonia-käsittettä tunnetun teoreetikon, Antonio Gramscin, kautta. Tämän jälkeen teoreettiseksi työkaluksi valitaan Robert W. Coxin sovellus Gramscin teoretisoinnista kansainväliselle areenalle. Sitten hegemonia-käsite punotaan yhteen lännen kanssa avaamalla lännen ja hegemonian suhdetta länsimaisten arvojen kautta. Lopuksi Agenda 2030 käydään läpi lukemalla se Coxin teoreettisen sovelluksen läpi, mikä mahdollistaa lopuksi tulkintojen tekemisen. Vastaukset tutkimuskysymyksiin ovat seuraavanlaiset: kyllä, kestävän kehityksen tavoitteissa on viitteitä länsihegemonisuudesta ja ne ovat näkyvissä muun muassa siinä, millä tavoin julistuksessa rakennetaan jaettua identiteettiä, hyödynnetään teknologiaa hegemonian tuottamisessa sekä tavassa, jolla länsimaiset intressit ja arvot punotaan kestävyysdiskurssiin olennaiseksi osaksi. Sustainable Development Goals can be interpreted as an extension of western hegemony through Coxian conceptual reading of the Agenda 2030 declaration document. This bachelor’s thesis includes the following hypothesis: there are elements of western hegemony, such as promoting its values of democracy, emphasising economy, equality, and others present in Agenda 2030. The research questions of this thesis are the following: “Are there elements of western hegemony in the SDGs?” and “How is western hegemony present in the SDGs?”. The answer to these is uncovered by firstly examining the concept of hegemony through prestigious Antonio Gramsci, selecting Robert W. Cox’s application of Gramscian thought to the international sphere as the theoretical tool, and briefly explaining how the concept of hegemony is connected to the west and its values within the scope of this bachelor’s thesis. Agenda 2030 is the examined and interpreted through Cox’s application of Gramsci’s theoretisation. Answers to the research questions are yes, there are elements of western hegemony in the SDGs and some ways of those elements being present are the manner of constructing shared identity, utilisation of technology in production of hegemony, and linking western interests within the sustainability discourse.
