Full Description
This book analyses the geopolitical, geostrategic and geoeconomic implications of the expanding BRICS bloc and the extent to which this tridimensional dynamic impacts global security, peace and sustainable development. It unravels simultaneously the contradictions and converging policies within the bloc, which stem from its member states' diverse and vibrant political, economic and development philosophies, while advancing the agenda of a multipolar against the dominance of the Bretton Wood institutions. The bloc envisions new pathways to a fair global trade, particularly with the Grand South and Western Asia—based on the experiences of the emerging markets such as China, India, Indonesia, Brazil and Russia. The alliance's potential to shape global governance in the areas where Western influence has been prevalent, namely in security technology, peace and sustainability is tested vis-à-vis its longstanding and well-established competitors such as the EU and the G7. This cutting-edge scholarly work is a must-read for everyone.
