The Representation of BRICS in Global Economic Governance: Reform and Fragmentation of Multilateral Institutions
2020
Abstract
In this contribution, we examine how the conflicts over representation between BRICS countries and established powers have played out in several institutions of global economic governance The rise of the BRICS has led to a general contest over representational inequality in international institutions. However, these inequalities vary considerably across institutions, depending on the institutions' specific features.
Consequently, there is significant variation in the content and outcomes of representation conflicts in different institutions.We therefore examine the nature of representation conflicts as they differ across institutions. In a second step, we examine the institutional outcomes of representation conflicts.
