The emergence of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa on
a global stage has upset the dominance of the United States as the
world's only superpower. But can they chart a path toward a more
just global economy? This collection, which brings together leading
political economists from around the world, argues that the BRICS
are actually amplifying some of the worst features of international
capitalism. This book aims to fill a gap in studies of the BRICS
grouping of countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South
Africa). It provides a critical analysis of their economies,
societies and geopolitical strategies within the framework of a
global capitalism that is increasingly predatory, unequal and
ecologically self-destructive -- no more so than in the BRICS
countries themselves. In unprecedented detail and with great
innovation, the contributors consider theoretical traditions in
political economy as applied to the BRICS, including
"sub-imperialism," the World System perspective and dynamics of
territorial expansion. Only such an approach can interpret the
potential for a "brics-from-below" uprising that appears likely to
accompany the rise of the BRICS. Contributors: Elmar Altvater,
