Growing role of BRICS is discussed at event in Ghana
FGV CPDOC explored the transition from a global order dominated by the Western world to another centered in Asia and the rise of BRICS.
Professor Oliver Stuenkel, coordinator of FGV’s School of Social Sciences (CPDOC) in Sao Paulo and MBAs in International Relations, participated in a roundtable at the Institute of Economic Affairs in Accra, capital of Ghana, on February 7. The event’s theme was ‘Africa Through the Eyes of BRICS’.
During the event, the professor explored the transition from a global order dominated by the Western world to another centered in Asia, and the rise of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). According to Stuenkel, the emergence of such parallel order is supported by the creation of new international institutions that complement others traditionally dominated by the West and by investment flows from BRICS — particularly China — toward African countries, such as Ghana.
After the professor’s initial presentation, participants discussed strategies for Ghana to engage in a relationship of mutual gains with BRICS.
The event was attended by professors and researchers, as well as members of government agencies, civil society, the media, and industry.
