Following on from the G20 in China, this timely event will share new analysis on the changing nature of global partnerships for development.
The BRICS nations have an increasing influence on global trade and on the ways in which universal challenges, such as energy and security, are addressed, including providing much-needed finance. At the same time the UK is seeking to re-assert its role in the world post-Brexit, particularly as a global development leader. Against this backdrop how can the UK and the BRICS work to forge a new set of mutually beneficial partnerships that help contribute to a safer, more inclusive and prosperous world?
The analysis originates from the most recent publication edited by international development experts Jing Gu, Alex Shankland, and Anuradha Chenoy: ‘The BRICS in International Development’. The book presents a cutting-edge analysis of the broader geopolitical shifts, distinctive ideologies and normative discourses that are influencing and informing the BRICS engagement in increasingly ambitious joint projects.
