A little over a decade ago Africa was being spoken of in the media
as the 'lost' or 'hopeless' continent. Now it has some of the
fastest growing economies in the world, largely because of the
impact of the BRICS: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
In this first book to be written about the BRICS as a collective
phenomenon, Padraig Carmody reveals how their engagements with
Africa, both individually and collectively, are often
contradictory, generating new inequalities and potential for
development. Crucially, Carmody shows how the geopolitics of the
BRICS countries' involvement in Africa is impacted by and impacts
upon their international relations more generally, and how the
emergence of these economies has begun to alter the very nature of
globalization, which is no longer purely a Western-led project.
This is a path-breaking examination of Africa's changing role in
the world.
