Summary

"The BRICS countries--Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa--have become a strong engine of South-South cooperation, contributing to a significant shift in the global balance of power. They also, taken as a whole, constitute Africa's largest trading partner. The authors of this new collection consider the potential of BRICS-Africa cooperation for promoting sustainable African development."--Publisher's description.
