“…This has driven the BRIC nations to undertake very different role behaviours within the WTO. Hopewell (2015) identifies that not only have Brazil and India assumed a more aggressive and activist position in WTO negotiations than China, they have also played a greater role in shaping the agenda of the Doha Round. In fact, there are a number of clear political tensions among the BRICs.…”

“…Hopewell (2015) argues that in the case of the WTO, new powers, such as China, India, and Brazil, are challenging the traditional dominance of the United States in the governance of the global economy. However, as Hopewell highlights, the BRICs took different paths to power: While China's rise has been more closely tied to its growing economic might, the rise of Brazil and India has been driven primarily by their mobilization and leadership of developing country coalitions, which enabled them to exercise influence above their economic weight.…”

The rise of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and the advance of the 2008 global financial crisis have fuelled a fresh round of debate concerning the sustainability of transatlantic norms, ideas and institutions that have dominated global governance since its foundation. Many of the bodies and organisations that help create global governance were developed between 1945 and 1980 and have been dominated by Western actors and a Western agenda. Using role theory, this chapter looks at the rise of the BRICS within the international system and the evolution of a new agenda within global governance, such as the G20, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the United Nations.

“…The context is important as the WTO faces an internal crisis of legitimacy. The repeated breakdown of the Doha Round negotiations illustrates fractured relations among WTO member states, especially the old and new powers (Hopewell, 2014), due to competing visions of how the international trading system should operate. The uncertainty over the future of the WTO and the breakdown of the old power structure creates a window of opportunity.…”

Regulating food-based agrofuels: The prospects and challenges of international trade rules

This article considers the potential for strategic and selective use of World Trade Organization (WTO) rules to regulate, and potentially curb, the expansion of food-based agrofuels. Since 2008, a global agrofuel complex has emerged that is characterized by government-led mandates and investment for food-based agrofuel production and trade. The majority of world agrofuel production utilizes basic foodstuffs-sugar, corn/maize, soy and palm oil-thus generating competition between food/feed and fuel end-uses. This competition is strongly linked to food price volatility, food insecurity and land grabbing on a global-scale. Food-based agrofuel production is projected to increase significantly over the next decade, with international trade of agrofuels growing in tandem due to rising global demand. Despite well-documented social and ecological consequences associated with food-based agrofuels, producing and consuming states demonstrate a lack of political will to curb future agrofuel expansion and, in particular, continue to resist demands by global civil society and other social groups for global agrofuels regulation. In a global political economic context best characterized by a global governance gap for agrofuels, I consider the prospects and challenges of strategic and selective application of WTO rules to regulate food-based agrofuels. Also considered is the legitimacy and efficacy of the WTO to fill the existing global governance gap for agrofuels, and the potential of alternative global governance institutions to play this role.

“…While characterized by strong dissimilarities in their trading profiles, India and the other BRICS states shared an aversion to the 'deep integration' agenda fostered by established powers [Stephen, Parizek 2015]. Brazil and India have been longstanding partners in the multilateral trading regime, whose cooperation goes back 597 at least to the GATT Uruguay Round, where they formed a core for developing countries sceptical of the new trade liberalization agenda [Hopewell 2014]. India has been restrained in its rhetoric about China's trading practices and in 2011, BRICS Ministers also made their first joint statement on the sidelines of a WTO Ministerial Conference.…”
