The economic and political rise of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia,
India, China, and South Africa) and Middle-Income Countries (MICs)
have important implications for global agrarian
transformation.These emerging economies are undergoing profound
changes as key sites of the production, circulation, and
consumption of agricultural commodities; hosts to abundant cheap
labour and natural resources; and home to growing numbers of both
poor but also, increasingly, affluent consumers. Separately and
together these countries are shaping international development
agendas both as partners in and potential alternatives to the
development paradigms promoted by the established hubs of global
capital in the North Atlantic and by dominant international
financial institutions. Collectively, the chapters in this book
show the significance of BRICS countries in reshaping agro-food
systems at the national and regional level as well as their global
significance. As they export their own farming and production
systems across different contexts, though, the outcomes are
contingent and success is not assured. At the same time, BRICS may
represent a continuation rather than an alternative to the
development paradigms of the Global North. The chapters were
originally published in a special issue of Third World Thematics: A
TWQ Journal.
