Emerging Economies: The Geopolitics of the BRICS Nations

Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, known collectively as BRICS, have created a multilateral forum claiming to represent the developing world in reshaping the global financial architecture.

This book offers some glimpses into these countries as they navigate the waters of economic expansion and global relations.
