ABSTRACT
A large number of governments are currently in an adaptation process of their institutional and political frameworks to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, an international commitment that, for the first time, promotes the implementation of a set of public policies inside the States. However, the theoretical foundations of this agenda have not yet been analyzed by the literature. This is a crucial aim for to know the depths implications of this agenda and for to guide political action in a reflective way. This article carries out an analysis of the 2030 Agenda from Political Theory, trying, firstly, to place it in the traditions of Western political thought, and secondly, to address the need of incorporate a more conflict-oriented dimension that allows the politicization of the agenda, in order to increase its discursive-symbolic value and its potential contribution to the transformations pursued.
