Now it has some of the fastest growing economies in the world, largely because of the impact of the BRICS: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. In this first book to be written about the BRICS as a collective phenomenon, P draig Carmody reveals how their engagements with Africa, both individually and collectively, are often contradictory, generating new inequalities and potential for development. Crucially, Carmody shows how the geopolitics of the BRICS countries' involvement in Africa is impacted by and impacts upon their international relations more generally, and how the emergence of these economies has begun to alter the very nature of globalization, which is no longer purely a Western-led project. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a path-breaking examination of Africa's changing role in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Padraig Carmody\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780326041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780326047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Padraig Carmody","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077290062079,"sku":"9781780326047","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c392573a-15c8-4cd7-921e-8837bfdcdc5f.jpg?v=1685469203","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rise-of-the-brics-p-draig-carmody-9781780326047","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
