The BRICS countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—have become a strong engine of South-South cooperation, contributing to a significant shift in the global balance of power. They also, taken as a whole, constitute Africa's largest trading partner. The authors of this new collection consider the potential of BRICS–Africa cooperation for promoting sustainable African development.
