The country I researched, Turkiye, suffers from corruption in the current administration due to the lack of checks and balances on power.\u00a0 As such, it has been made much more difficult for Turkiye to make progress toward Goal 16, for example.\u00a0 On the other hand, countries like Singapore that have put various measures in place to combat corruption have been able to make more strides toward the goals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">International factors are also important to consider as well.\u00a0 For Turkiye, trade is one of the most important parts of the economy, so its trade partnerships affect the country\u2019s ability to make progress toward the goals.\u00a0 I think it is also important for different countries in the Global South to have good relationships with countries making progress toward sustainable development.\u00a0 As more of these connections form, it will incentivize more countries to make progress.\u00a0 One example that I learned about in the other podcasts was the relationship between Singapore and Malaysia with their clean water agreement.\u00a0 As more relationships like this can form, more progress can be made toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do national and international factors interact in empowering some states of the Global South to make more progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals than other states?
