An article on "BRICS and Mortar(s): Breaking or Building the Global System?" has been published in V I Lo and M Hiscock (editors), The Rise of the BRICS in the Global Political Economy: Changing Paradigms? (Edward Elgar, 2013).
This article discusses the debate over what impact the increasing power of the BRICS over the past decade might have on global governance:
"This chapter explores the behaviour of the BRICS in the G20 to ascertain whether this is undermining the principles of global governance or promoting constructive reform...outlining the main arguments used by those who see the BRICS as a threat. It then outlines the counterarguments, particularly focusing on the BRICS Declaration at the 2012 Los Cabos G20 Summit. It concludes that the rise of the BRICS is not necessarily a challenge to global governance, and could in fact strengthen the international system."
