This book provides a quantitative and qualitative overview of the overall impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the capacity of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS countries) to reshape global climate governance and explore areas for mutual cooperation.BRICS countries account for nearly 40% of the total world population and are thus intrinsic to the global efforts and results for Agenda 2030, the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, and beyond. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic does not at first appear to be directly related to BRICS’ policies to address climate change, but it has influenced the pace and nature of climate action due to the loss of human and financial capital. This book examines this correlation and raises awareness of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impacts and potential solutions on BRICS’ climate strategies. Drawing on case studies from each country, the authors use examples from urban governance, energy transition strategy, foreign investment, and more to illustrate how COVID-19 has negatively or positively impacted climate data and draw wider conclusions about the long-term climate policies that may be implemented.This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, environmental politics and governance, and global development studies.

Entrepreneurship is a tool of innovation promotion that supports sound economic environments as it stimulates economic growth and development. The BRICS nations, i.e., Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, are a group of emerging countries comprising the highest developmental block of the emerging nations. It is imperative to assess the entrepreneurship policies, strategies, and promotional programmes and their implications for, among others, entrepreneurship funding, economic growth, and employment trends. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entrepreneurship environment and equally steered state funding priorities away from entrepreneurship development support worldwide. This research book assesses the effect that COVID-19 has had on government funding priority, policy interventions and resultant implications on the entrepreneurship environment, economic growth and employment with a focus on BRICS. Readers will gain insight into what entrepreneurship looks like in the BRICS context and how it has been affected by COVID-19, indicating how the BRICS nations are likely to move forward to further strengthen entrepreneurship. This edited volume will be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and advanced students in the fields of entrepreneurship, innovation, strategy, international relations, multilateralism, and economic development.

The expanded group of BRICS nations informally known as BRICS+ encompasses of both established members and the new additions nations which includes Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). These BRICS+ nations stand at the cusp of unparalleled growth and economic expansion. BRICS+ contributes significantly to global primary energy production, accounting for 48% of the sector.This book emphasizes the significance of energy for growth and sustainability, highlighting the role of BRICS+ nations in enhancing global energy resilience. This resilience could be achieved through collaborations, policy strategies, and economic implications, calling attention to energy trading free from sanctions. Further, it embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the dynamic landscape inhabited by the BRICS+ nations, a collective that includes established BRICS+ countries as well as new members. At its core, the narrative confronts the looming spectre of structural shocks, with a keen focus on the energy sector, and the profound implications these disruptions pose for the economic potential of these nations. What sets this work apart is its emphasis on the vulnerabilities of the BRICS+ nations, characterized by fiscally fragile economies heavily reliant on imported energy. It delves into the international externalities that make these nations susceptible, compounded by their geological predisposition to volatility. The book charts a course for change, proposing a systematic departure from these disruptions through academic insights and elaborations, laying the foundation for sustained and successful growth.As such, it will be a useful guide for academics, students, researchers and policymakers concerned with the discourse on sustainability and resilience in BRICS+ nations, paving the way for a more informed and innovative approach to the challenges faced by these nations in the interconnected global landscape.

This book provides a critical and timely examination of anthropogenic disruptions to the natural functioning of Earth systems while evaluating the extent to which such climatic perturbations affect the sustainability of BRICS+ nations in the Anthropocene and Capitalocene. Responding to the multiple challenges confronting Planet Earth in this critical geological and historical age, the book first demonstrates the advent of a new political economy and governance order, triggered by the BRICS movement. It rigorously explores the far-reaching consequences of environmental crises on global peace, security, economic stability, and sustainable development, substantiating the increasingly strategic role of BRICS+ nations as a rising global economic force determined to shape sustainable futures in the Anthropocene and Capitalocene.The book further bears out how compounded policy theories are paradoxically impacting BRICS+ nations (intra-BRICS+ nations’ contractions and the bloc’s opportunities) in advancing a more multipolar world order—an agenda fostered by the bloc that is so significant today that it is impossible to ignore or rebuff. Finally, the book offers a comprehensive framework for multilateral cooperation among economic alliances and institutions and among BRICS+ nations, within which the world can thrive despite the growing anthropogenic atmospheric transformations that affect the well-being of Planet Earth.

COVID-19 caused massive disruptions in the higher education sector across the world. The transition to online learning exposed the deep-rooted inequalities between countries, systems, institutions, and student groups in terms of the availability of information technology infrastructure, internet access and digital literacy, as well as prior training and experiences of faculty in online education. This volume explores various aspects of the impact of the pandemic on higher education management including how university administration responded to the crisis, and the role of local and national government agencies in academic support and higher education delivery. The key findings highlight the importance of better organisation and preparedness of higher education systems for future crises, and the need for a better dialogue between governments, higher education institutions and other stakeholders. The book calls for a collective response to address the digital divide among various groups and financial inequalities within and between the private and public universities, and to plan for the serious challenges that international students face during crisis situations.

This book analyses the geopolitical, geostrategic and geoeconomic implications of the expanding BRICS bloc and the extent to which this tridimensional dynamic impacts global security, peace and sustainable development. It unravels simultaneously the contradictions and converging policies within the bloc, which stem from its member states’ diverse and vibrant political, economic and development philosophies, while advancing the agenda of a multipolar against the dominance of the Bretton Wood institutions. The bloc envisions new pathways to a fair global trade, particularly with the Grand South and Western Asia—based on the experiences of the emerging markets such as China, India, Indonesia, Brazil and Russia. The alliance’s potential to shape global governance in the areas where Western influence has been prevalent, namely in security technology, peace and sustainability is tested vis-à-vis its longstanding and well-established competitors such as the EU and the G7. This cutting-edge scholarly work is a must-read for everyone.
