Abstract:-Sustainable development not only meets the needs of the present generation but also sees that of future generations. The United Nations adopted sustainable development goals for the world in 2015 that contains 17 goals with list of targets to achieve. It not only deals with environmental issues, but economic, social and cultural issues as well. Thus, it can be said that sustainable development therefore, have multiple contexts; involve multiple and often diametrically opposed values; demand an unprecedented interface between academic research and public policy; and there is none as sustainable development expertise, but rather a multiplicity of expertise. But the more pragmatic and policy-focused argument about how to put sustainable development into effect has been just in the center stage in contemporary debates in the social sciences. Among other, one of the most important preconditions for sustainable development is the state capacity to form and implement policy across the whole of their territory. A plenty of studies have demonstrated the importance of state capacity. For example, there is a causal link between the quality of public administration and economic growth. However, this paper based on secondary data attempts to define Sustainable development as well as discuss politics and governance in the sustainable development in its theoretical features.
Keywords:-Politics, Governance, Sustainable Development

Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (WCED, 1987). The intellectual debate about whether sustainable development-a new paradigm in the development; is a well-improved principle, a concept, a normative idea, a ‘meta fix’, a positive vision, (Dryzek, 2005) or a matter of attention remains as lively as ever.
