ASC Seminar - The BRICS and the “New Scramble for Africa"

Ian Taylor, Professor in International Relations and African Politics at St Andrews, Scotland, UK. The BRICS group’s members are, according to the International Monetary Fund, projected to account for around 60% of global growth by 2014. How and why the BRICS interact with Africa is likely to be a major aspect of the continent’s international relations for the foreseeable future. Whilst this has thus far seen accelerated growth within some African countries, major challenges exist that need to be addressed.
