The BRICS in International DevelopmentIntroduction: International Development, South-South Cooperation and the Rising Powers

The BRICS in International Development: Introduction: International Development, South-South... [This chapter examines the emergence of the BRICS as a geopolitical association with systems for intellectual, policy and financial interaction and cooperation, and their growing impact on international development and global governance arrangements. The discussion considers the history and rhetoric of South-South cooperation, exploring whether it presents an alternative to the OECD-DAC model of development aid and the future evolution of this model as the BRICS themselves develop. While the BRICS have a huge significance in global development, there has been little comparative study of what each of the BRICS has been doing in their development practices and little understanding of domestic discourses and attitudes towards development cooperation. This chapter outlines the way in which this book fills this gap. It details the economic, political and development trajectories of the BRICS grouping and introduces the various chapters examining the respective BRICS members, the BRICS grouping’s trajectory of engagement with civil society and its development of shared institutions for development cooperation.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter examines the emergence of the BRICS as a geopolitical association with systems for intellectual, policy and financial interaction and cooperation, and their growing impact on international development and global governance arrangements. The discussion considers the history and rhetoric of South-South cooperation, exploring whether it presents an alternative to the OECD-DAC model of development aid and the future evolution of this model as the BRICS themselves develop. While the BRICS have a huge significance in global development, there has been little comparative study of what each of the BRICS has been doing in their development practices and little understanding of domestic discourses and attitudes towards development cooperation. This chapter outlines the way in which this book fills this gap. It details the economic, political and development trajectories of the BRICS grouping and introduces the various chapters examining the respective BRICS members, the BRICS grouping’s trajectory of engagement with civil society and its development of shared institutions for development cooperation.]
