“…Power as the ability to make and impose decisions (in the Weberian sense) and/or as the ability to gain prestige and relevance and, as a result, acceptance in the eyes of multiple others (the approach of Hannah Arendt) is a classical term in political and sociological theory [14,15]. Therefore, it does not surprise to find the italicized terms characterizing political aspects of boundary work.…”

A flood of ideas and proposals on the shape and selection of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has begun to rise since 2012. This article looks at some of them, trying to understand which kind of -boundary work‖ between science and policy is done here. Starting with a reflection on the epistemological and practical implications of -discussing SDGs‖, it primarily addresses scientists, but also decision makers and activists interested in the post-2015 debate. In practical terms of SDG selection, the argument goes in favor of a self-reflective -politization of science‖; i.e., against claims for broad scientific comprehensiveness of SDGs and in favor of an -exemplary‖ selection of thematic areas and targets, which would combine aspects of (i) political opportunity and (ii) societal visibility. These criteria are only very partially met in the proposals the article looks at. By applying them, the article emphasizes the political importance of addressing, through SDGs, the subnational level directly, thus making the case for an SDG on cities. Such an SDG should, by the same logic, be rather focused and exemplary than all-encompassing. The recently employed formula of -resilient, inclusive and connected cities‖ is considered useful, when accompanied by tangible and communicable indicators.
