But can they chart a path toward a more just global economy? This collection, which brings together leading political economists from around the world, argues that the BRICS are actually amplifying some of the worst features of international capitalism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book aims to fill a gap in studies of the BRICS grouping of countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). It provides a critical analysis of their economies, societies and geopolitical strategies within the framework of a global capitalism that is increasingly predatory, unequal and ecologically self-destructive -- no more so than in the BRICS countries themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn unprecedented detail and with great innovation, the contributors consider theoretical traditions in political economy as applied to the BRICS, including \"sub-imperialism,\" the World System perspective and dynamics of territorial expansion. Only such an approach can interpret the potential for a \"brics-from-below\" uprising that appears likely to accompany the rise of the BRICS. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors: Elmar Altvater, Baruti Amisi, Patrick Bond, Omar Bonilla, Einar Braathen, Pedro Henrique Campos, Ruslan Dzarasov, Virginia Fontes, Ana Garcia, Ho-fung Hung, Richard Kamidza, Karina Kato, Claudio Katz, Mathias Luce, Farai Maguwu, Judith Marshall, Gilmar Mascarenhas, Sam Moyo, Leo Panitch, Bobby Peek, Gonzalo Pozo, Vijay Prashad, Niall Reddy, William Robinson, Susanne Soederberg, Celina S rb e, Achin Vanaik, Immanuel Wallerstein and Paris Yeros.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAna Garcia\u003c\/b\u003e teaches international relations at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro.
