About the Book
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.

“Offers valuable insights into how intellectual and social forces within the BRICS networks are setting progressive intellectual and social agendas for the Global South and alternatives to a rapidly disintegrating global social order.”

“Impressive volume…. A timely and searching account of what becomes possible when nation-states pursue genuinely collective interests.”
—Crain Soudien
