Interview with Danny Bradlow
Professor Danny Bradlow, SARCHI Professor of International Development Law and African Economic Relations at the University of Pretoria, is interviewed by SAIIA on the future of the BRICS grouping.
Since South Africa’s accession to the BRICS group of emerging powers in 2011, there has been sustained interest in South Africa’s role in the shifting dynamics of global economic governance. Given that South Africa will be hosting the BRICS Summit in 2013, this attention will only increase throughout the coming year.
On 6th August 2012 the South African Institute of International Affairs and the Centre for Human Rights at the University of Pretoria convened a symposium of eminent researchers and policy-makers from Africa and the BRICS countries, to exchange views on the interests of the BRICS, especially as it relates to the Group of 20 (G20).
A special panel of experts were invited to present fresh insights into the five BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) and their relationship with Africa.
This interview was part of the Global Economic Governance – Africa (GEGAfrica) project, which SAIIA jointly co-ordinates. For more, see www.gegafrica.org.
