The BRICS and Coexistence by Cedric De Coning

The BRICS and Coexistence by Cedric De Coning

This work analyses the extent to which the concept of coexistence explains the individual foreign policies of the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa)

‘As the 2014 Fortaleza Summit confirmed, the BRICS’ growing market power translates into geopolitical clout to restructure the global order into a more equitable, rules-based system that respects diversityThis book will be essential to understanding the BRICS as both a normative and a political project’.

Ramesh Thakur, Australian National University, Editor-in-Chief, Global Governance

'I enjoyed reading this well researched book which very succinctly explains the BRICS vision for a new world order as ' coexistence '. The BRICS member states reject hegemony of the world system and will therefore attempt to be an important force for change and reform of the existing global institutions towards more democratic and equitable governance. The recent Agreement at the Sixth BRICS Summit for establishing the New Development Bank ( NDB ) and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement ( CRA ) needs to be viewed through the framework of ' coexistence '. I commend the authors and editors for their incisive work. '
