Brazil Institute Publication: “Emerging Powers: India, Brazil and South Africa (IBSA) and the Future of South-South Cooperation”

Posted on November 9, 2009 by Brazil Institute

India, Brazil, and South Africa (IBSA) is a dialogue forum established to promote multilateral cooperation.Due to the current trends of political and economic restructuring, South-South cooperation is expected to play an increasingly important role in the post-recession world. India, Brazil, and South Africa (IBSA) established a dialogue forum to increase multilateral collaboration on a number of issues, especially those relating to development.

Based on a half-day conference on IBSA, the Brazil Institute’s new Special Report, “Emerging Powers: India, Brazil and South Africa (IBSA) and the Future of South-South Cooperation,” reveals two key themes: current accomplishments in enhancing global governance, economic relations, and foreign policy strategies; and the potential to improve regional security in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The conference panelists questioned whether IBSA could offer permanent solutions to multilateral security efforts given the diversity both within the countries and within the regions.
