Emerging Powers: India, Brazil and South Africa (IBSA) and the Future of South-South Cooperation
India, Brazil, and South Africa are rapidly developing countries as well as continental and global leaders. IBSA (India, Brazil, South Africa), established in 2003, is a dialogue forum that seeks to increase South-South cooperation and exchange on a number of issues, especially those relating to development. The decline of U.S. global hegemony and the current fundamental restructuring of world power raise questions about the future role of the emerging powers of IBSA. On May 22, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars' Brazil Institute, Africa Program, and Asia Program jointly hosted a half-day conference that examined IBSA in regional and global contexts.
Panelists: Ambassador Arun Kumar Singh, Secretary Figueiredo de Souza, Francis Kornegay, Ummu Salma Bava, Dr. Alcides Costa Vaz, Francis Kornegay, Dr. Sunil Khilnani,
