Global South Rising?: BRICS and the Reconfiguration of Knowledge Systems - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Global South Rising? addresses a provocative question: Can BRICS reshape global knowledge hierarchies? The contributors examine the BRICS' rise in the context of its ambition to reconfigure not only the global economy, but also intellectual power structures. As they assess the bloc's performance, they highlight its challenges to dominant Western epistemologies and its potential to amplify the agency of the Global South. In the process, they invite readers to rethink concepts of power, knowledge, and global cooperation.
