“…The US is an unlikely follower of the BRICS because of its superpower status and because followership requires credible inclusion of its interests and/or ideas into the leadership project (Schirm 2010). Although some BRICS countries are closer to the US and more likely to take into account its interests than others, the BRICS as a grouping is not eager to incorporate US interests into its leadership project.…”

In the last few years, ''the BRICS'' or Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa have been increasingly investing in developing their cooperation and seeking to exert joint global influence. BRICS' mobilization has been visible in the cooperation of high-level officials, deeper policy coordination, and the creation of BRICS institutions. As the BRICS intensify their pursuit of multipolarity, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the ways in which the BRICS has been received in the United States (US), which is a crucial stakeholder in creating a multipolar system.

“…This book joins a burgeoning literature (Conceiçã o-Heldt 2011;Schirm 2010;Pedersen 2008) which focuses attention from the internationallevel debates about EP motivations and behavior in global governance down to the domestic level. Doing so highlights common domestic conditions within EP states which may exert an influence on their behavior in global governance just as relevant as that exerted by international factors, such as a desire to increase relative capabilities or participate in institutional rule-making.…”

“…Others argue that, despite Brazil's capabilities and behavior, Brazil will be impeded in its EP ambitions by a lack of regional acceptance (Schirm 2007, 7). This lack of regional support makes it harder for the Brazilian government to gain followership for leadership projects on the global level (Schirm 2010)-a situation mirrored in the experience of some EPs (like India) while quite different from that of others (like China). Finally, still others argue Brazilian capabilities and behavior themselves do more to distinguish Brazil from other EPs than to associate it with them.…”

The global political economy is in flux as a series of cumulative crises impacts its organization and governance. The IPE series has tracked its development in both analysis and structure over the last three decades. It has always had a concentration on the global South. Now the South increasingly challenges the North as the center of development, also reflected in a growing number of submissions and publications on indebted Eurozone economies in Southern Europe.An indispensable resource for scholars and researchers, the series examines a variety of capitalisms and connections by focusing on emerging economies, companies and sectors, debates and policies. It informs diverse policy communities as the established trans-Atlantic North declines and "the rest," especially the BRICS, rise.

“…Underdal 1994, p. 181). A few important studies excepted (Gupta and van der Grijp 2000, Elgstro¨m 2007, Schirm 2009, Karlsson et al 2011, the overwhelming majority of the research on climate change leadership has been geared towards the supply side. These studies provide valuable insights into the content of specific leadership candidates' bids for leadership Ringius 2001, Selin andVanDeveer 2007), their motives for attempting to assume a leadership position (Schreurs and Tiberghien 2007), and their overall contribution to global climate change governance (Vogler 2005, Parker andKarlsson 2010).…”
