Global hierarchies based on power and resources affect international migration and ethnic relations in many ways. To understand how this works you have to understand processes of globalization – like global agreements. One case of global agreement is the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which is described as a plan of action and contains 17 universal goals for global sustainable development. In Sweden, the plan of action is described as inevitable because the global challenges that stand before us is associated with high costs. The way global challenges are constructed like a threat can be derived from the neoliberalism. Neoliberalism can be understood as a governmentality and a policy rationality. In this thesis, I aim to discuss the neoliberal governmentality and neoliberal policy rationality that can be seen in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development using critical discourse analysis. One of the things my study showed is that the 2030 Agenda goals are aimed to solve problems through “economic affordability”, market logic and governance/self-management. These ways of solving problems can be derived to neoliberals in several ways – one of them being the neoliberal way of constructing problems and solutions in line with neoliberal interests like market competition and “free choices”. Another thing my study showed is that the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development can be seen as a form of administrative technique of the biopower.
