Preview The BRICS in International Development
International Political Economy Series The BRICS in International Development Edited by Jing Gu, Alex Shankland and Anuradha Chenoy International Political Economy Series Series Editor Timothy M. Shaw Visiting Professor, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA and Emeritus Professor at the University of London , UK The global political economy is in fl ux as a series of cumulative crises impacts its organization and governance. The IPE series has tracked its development in both analysis and structure over the last three decades. It has always had a concentration on the global South. Now the South increas- ingly challenges the North as the centre of development, also refl ected in a growing number of submissions and publications on indebted Eurozone economies in Southern Europe. An indispensable resource for scholars and researchers, the series examines a variety of capitalisms and connec- tions by focusing on emerging economies, companies and sectors, debates and policies. It informs diverse policy communities as the established trans-Atlantic North declines and ‘the rest’, especially the BRICS, rise.

London P RAISE FOR THIS BOOK ‘As the global discourse on development will increasingly be dominated in the years to come by Agenda 2030, this volume makes a signifi cant contribution to a more nuanced understanding of the role that the BRICS are playing in the fi eld of international development. With many of the contributions written by experts from those countries, the volume provide unique insights into a theme that is not only relevant but also often not suffi ciently appreciated.’ —Elizabeth Sidiropoulos, South African Institute of International Affairs, South Africa. ‘This comprehensive publication by the IDS Centre for Rising Powers and Global Development comes exactly at the right moment. At a time when Western awe about the phenomenal rise of Southern heavy-weights is waning, the in-depth studies of individual BRICS members and their collective intent allow for a more nuanced perspective. Despite signifi cant differences in domestic conditions and national interests, the c onsolidation of the BRICS alliance will continue and irreversibly upend the global sys- tem constructed by the West after the second World War.’ —Thomas Fues, German Development Institute, Germany. ‘The landscape of international development cooperation is changing rapidly and BRICS countries are a major driving force. This book pres- ents a timely review of the rich evidences, the diverse experiences, and the emerging patterns of this new trend. The critical analysis by lead- ing experts on the complex geopolitical shift and economic engagements offers rare insights on the underlying causes of this major shift. It is a must read for not only scholars and practitioners in development studies, but also people with general interest in international relations and global governance.’ —Xue Lan, Tsinghua University, China. v A CKNOWLEDGEMENTS This book was researched and written under the ‘Rising Powers in International Development’ Programme (http://www.ids.ac.uk/ris- ingpowers), and supported by the UK Department of International Development.
