The Role of China and India in the G20 and BRICS
This paper examines China and India's relationship within the ambit of the G20 process and the autonomous BRICS institutional architecture. The evolving relationship of each of these two emerging powers within these different institutional settings demonstrates a degree of agentic commonality and distinction. China's and India's approaches to both the G20 and the BRICS summit processes highlight a combination of status-seeking and hedging behavio…
Testing the Club Dynamics of the BRICS
The article addresses the puzzle of how the BRICS members are able to overcome institutional constraints and make progressin establishing the New Development Bank (NDB) in a short period of time from its conception. It argues that the club dynamicsamong the members help circumvent intra-BRICS conflict due to the embedded mutual common interest in statusattribution. Club dynamics also create an informal institutional platform for them to manoeuvre…
Stretching health diplomacy beyond ‘Global’ problem solving
The importance of the regional dimension of health diplomacy is only gaining slow and uneven recognition. This is in many ways surprising. As demonstrated in the work of Deacon on the 'globalization of social policy', global social policy has been animated and debated not only at the multilateral level but at the regional level as well. But at least in the diplomatic literature, the importance of this regional dynamic (with a focus on diverse sit…
The Advocacy of Democratic Governance by India and China
This article examines the patterns of consistency and inconsistency between how India and China advocate democratisation at the global and national levels. Addressing this question through a dualistic framework, we develop a detailed map of the rhetorical promotion of democratic governance by India and China through an analysis of 10 years of foreign affairs speeches, remarks, interviews and statements of political elites of both countries. The a…
Emerging donors
This paper examines the evolving pattern of democracy promotion by three emerging donors: India, Brazil and South Africa. It first asks how the emerging donors promote democracy through their development assistance. The paper argues that despite the risk of compromising security and trade interests, the emerging donors have adapted to a 2 × 2 (two by two) model of democracy promotion by which they circumvent risk by promoting procedural democracy…
Testando a cultura de clube dos BRICS
O dinamismo social e econômico nos países BRICS, combinado com sua ascensão diplomática e política, tem sustentado a mudança na balança global de poder. Embora a transformação dos BRICS, do conceito para a prática, precise ser tratada com seriedade, com o processo de cúpula estendida, ilustrativo de um novo status encontrado para os países emergentes no sistema internacional, devemos reconhecer que os membros dos BRICS (China, Índia, Brasil, Rúss…
The U nited S tates and B ahrain
We examine how the U nited S tates' response to the situation in B ahrain can be differentiated from that in L ibya and E gypt based on a comparative content analysis of the U . S . administration's press releases, remarks, and interviews during the first three months of the A rab S pring movement. Our findings indicate that although the level and duration of violence were comparable, the U . S . government response was strikingly different with …
BRICS and the Privileging of Informality in Global Governance
The staging of the Fifth BRICS summit on 26–27 March 2013 consolidated the impression of nuanced club dynamics. Despite considerable differences in strategic perspectives, the BRICS members have been successful in amplifying converging interests while avoiding friction from disagreement by downplaying issues on which there is geopolitical divergence and policy competition. Their ‘agency’ of cooperation within BRICS is founded on an informal and l…
