This article examines recent arguments from development economists, from historians and from international relations specialists that do challenge the continued relevance of the idea of the Third World. It then examines five reasons why these arguments are wrong. We can indeed understand much about emerging powers in terms of how they are seeking to navigate and best position themselves within an existing state-centric, liberal and capitalist order whilst accepting many of the underlying assumptions and values of that order. But the nature of that navigation has been shaped by their historical trajectory and by the developmental, societal and geopolitical context of their emergence.Keywords: BRICs; Global South; Third World; Emerging Powers. JEL classification: F02.Debates about the diffusion of power and the emergence of new powers have become ubiquitous. But even a cursory reading of the policy debates, the popular literature, and the steadily-growing volume of academic work reveals that there are many unanswered and unresolved questions. Some relate to the nature of power. Others relate to the range of very different understandings of the global order into which today's emerging powers are said to be emerging. But another set of questions -and the subject of this article -has to do with the political groupings, spatial categories and taken-for-granted historical geographies that shape both academic analyses and political understandings of emerging powers.

“…That, in turn, has been translated into new streams of research that have highlighted venues and topics which substantiate this newfound resurgence (e.g. Braveboy-Wagner 2009; Alden et al 2010). Overall, these dynamics can be considered a product of two intertwined developments.…”

“…South-South relations can then be understood as being deeply rooted in a strong sense of common solidarity over global governance, economic and development issues, which provides sufficient basis for the transposition of preliminary discussions into coalitional fronts in international arenas. In other words, we deem them as a mobilising symbol (Alden et al 2010), manifested through different collective platforms, often against Northern-led conceptualisations of the international order.…”

South–South cohesiveness versus South–South rhetoric: Brazil and Africa at the UN General Assembly

South-South relations have regained widespread interest in recent years, together with increasingly visible stances on international stages. Brazil's interactions with the African continent, in particular, came to epitomise such a perception while sustaining an expectation of mutual alignment in several global issues. However, these assumptions still lack empirical corroboration. Drawing on United Nations General Assembly voting data for the 1991-2013 timeframe, this article questions a supposed South-South solidarity at the multilateral institution with the largest global representation and identifies key thematic axes that incite greater collective stances. The analysis further sheds light on whether or not a common SouthSouth agenda has emerged over time.

“…However, 'fast' policy and planning mobility or diffusion is not limited to the cities of the global North. Though traditionally discussed at the national level, the nature of exchanges, and especially power dynamics therein, are of great policy and scholarly interest in both the global North and South (Alden, Morphet, & Vieira, 2010;Alden & Vieira, 2005;Braveboy-Wagner, 2009;Chaturvedi, 2012;Robinson, 2006Robinson, , 2011. This chapter concentrates on exchanges and cooperation among actors in the South -specifically between Brazil and Mozambique -at the urban level, to begin exploring and understanding their impact on urban development in such contexts.…”
