Document from the year 2024 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, , language: English, abstract: The book offers a cutting-edge, transdisciplinary analysis of the BRICS' geoeconomic strategies, their far-reaching impacts on global dynamics, and their potential to foster a more sustainable, equitable, and collaborative world order. Innovationology, developed by the author, provides a transformative lens that integrates insights from a wide range of disciplines - from economics and political science to complexity theory, design thinking, and the humanities. This innovative approach directly challenges traditional, often quantitative-driven models of development and progress, advocating instead for a more inclusive, qualitative, and values-driven understanding of innovation and its role in shaping a better future for all. Leveraging the Innovationology framework, this seminal work delves deep into the BRICS' collective and individual geoeconomic initiatives, unpacking their far-reaching implications for global power dynamics, sustainable development, and the quest for greater inclusion and equity. From the establishment of the New Development Bank to the ambitious Belt and Road Initiative, we undertake a comprehensive, critical examination of the BRICS' concerted efforts to challenge Western-led institutions and chart new pathways for global cooperation and shared prosperity. However, this analysis also shines a bright light on the multifaceted challenges facing the BRICS, including persistent socioeconomic disparities, political tensions, corruption, and the pressing need for greater environmental sustainability. By rigorously evaluating the feasibility and long-term viability of the BRICS' development models, we provide a nuanced and balanced perspective that illuminates both the promises and pitfalls of their geoeconomic aspirations. Ultimately, this book stands as a seminal, authoritative work that positions the BRICS' geoeconomic strategies within the broader context of global transformation. By infusing the transformative Innovationology lens, we offer a compelling, visionary pathway for how these emerging economies can chart a more sustainable, equitable, and collaborative course one that not only advances their own interests but also contributes to the greater good of the international community.
