Member states of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) continue to grapple with a host of security issues, including the burgeoning ISIS threat and the humanitarian crisis in Myanmar.
As BIMSTEC pushes for transport connectivity, it stands to gain from other, complementary transport connectivity projects that are emerging in the region. BIMSTEC can also take advantage of extant policy designs, and aligning its projects with the various national, bilateral and multilateral projects either ongoing or being planned.
This paper revisits India’s contribution to institution building efforts in BRICS to suggest India’s keen interest in leveraging BRICS for fulfilling its national objectives on domestic economic growth and global governance. However, this paper notes, multiple competing imperatives of global governance and national interests within BRICS have led to asymmetric gains among members. BRICS suffers from weak cooperation in global trade, technology and environmental regimes. This paper explores positions of BRICS members on selected trade issues in the WTO in areas, such as agriculture and NAMA, to identify divergent national interests. It elaborates that the ITA, a plurilateral agreement under the WTO, is believed to have brought differential gains to India and China (with China gaining many times more than India in export performance). Faced with differential gains in sector-specific economic performance and intra-BRICS competition, BRICS seeks greater coordination in its economic policies and global governance approaches.
Результаты голосования участников 10-й Специальной чрезвычайной сессии Генеральной ассамблеи ООН 21 декабря 2017 г. по статусу Иерусалима и остальной оккупированной территории Палестины стали знаковым сигналом утраты США лидерских позиций в ООН. Сложившаяся ситуация еще раз подтверждает, что странам-членам БРИКС следует подкрепить политическую поддержку центральной роли ООН в системе международных отношений финансовыми ресурсами.
