The transformation of the BRIC acronym from an investment term into
a household name of international politics and into a
semi-institutionalized political outfit (called BRICS, with a
capital 'S'), is one of the defining developments in international
politics in the past decades. While the concept is now commonly
used in the general public debate and international media, there
has not yet been a comprehensive and scholarly analysis of the
history of the BRICS term. The BRICS and the Future of Global
Order, Second Edition offers a definitive reference history of the
BRICS as a term and as an institution-a chronological narrative and
analytical account of the BRICS concept from its inception in 2001
to the political grouping it is today. In addition, it analyzes
what the rise of powers like Brazil, Russia, India, China, and
South Africa means for the future of global order. Will the BRICS
countries seek to establish a parallel system with its own
distinctive set of rules, institutions, and currencies of power,
rejecting key tenets of liberal internationalism, are will they
seek to embrace the rules and norms that define today's Western-led
order?
The establishment of the IBSA as one of the principal platforms of
South-South cooperation is one of the most notable developments in
international politics during the first decade of the twenty-first
century. While the concept is now frequently referred to in
discussions about the Global South, there has not yet been a
comprehensive and scholarly analysis of the history of the IBSA
grouping and its impact on global order. This book: Offers a
definitive reference history of the IBSA grouping (India, Brazil
and South Africa) - a comprehensive, fact-focused narrative and
analytical account from its inception as an ad hoc meeting in 2003
to the political grouping it is today. Situates the IBSA grouping
in the wider context of South-South cooperation and the global
shift of power away from the United States and Europe towards
powers such as Brazil, India and South Africa. Provides an outlook
and critically assesses what the IBSA grouping means for global
order in the twenty-first century. Offering the first full-length
and detailed treatment of the IBSA, this work will be of great
interest to students and scholars of International organizations,
international relations and the global south.
In the past generation, Brazil has risen to become the seventh
largest economy and fourth largest democracy in the world. Yet its
rise challenges the conventional wisdom that capitalist democracies
will necessarily converge to become faithful adherents of a US-led
global liberal order. Indeed, Brazil demonstrates that middle
powers, even those of a deeply democratic bent, may differ in their
views of what democracy means on the global stage and how
international relations should be conducted among sovereign
nations. This volume explores Brazil's postures on specific aspects
of foreign relations, including trade, foreign and environmental
policy, humanitarian intervention, nuclear proliferation and
South-South relations, among other topics. The authors argue from a
variety of perspectives that, even as Brazil seeks greater
integration and recognition, it also brings challenges to the
status quo that are emblematic of the tensions accompanying the
rise to prominence of a number of middle powers in an increasingly
multipolar world system.
