This special issue, edited by Hong Liu, Celia Lee, Chris Alden, on ‘The Dynamics of Governance and Sustainable Development Goals in the Global South’ aims to contribute to, expand upon and advance the transnational knowledge transfer literature.

The articles were selected from papers first presented at the London School of Economics – IDEAS and Nanyang Technological University – Nanyang Centre for Public Administration (LSE-IDEAS and NTU-NCPA) Joint Workshop on the Dynamics of Knowledge Transfer and Governance in the Global South, held at the London School of Economics in November 2019.
