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 centre 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 capi-
talisms 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. NOW INDEXED ON SCOPUS!

This book stemmed from a research seminar held within the auspices
of the University of Johannesburg Centre for Africa-China Studies in
partnership with the SARChI Chair for African Diplomacy and Foreign
Policy at the University of Johannesburg and sponsored by Oxfam’s Pan
Africa Programme under the title ‘BRICS-Africa Cooperation: Progress,
Prospects and Challenges’ on the 29th of August in 2017. We sincerely
thank the scholars for availing themselves on the occasion of the proceed-
ings, and presenting their papers on the day, and subsequently working
very hard over the course of the next year to channel them into chapters
which form much of this book. In the same vein, we sincerely appreciate
the efforts of those who were not active participants in the seminar but
were rather recruited into the project in the book production stage and
delivered impressively.
We wish to thank Oxfam particularly the Pan Africa Programme, which
has been a visible and leading organisation on the emerging countries and
the implications their different rises carry has on Africa. Always with a
finger on the pulse of the issues, their Africa-China Dialogue Platform has
churned out relevant and timely research. More than this, their invest-
ment in this work, and the incredible cooperation, leadership and effi-
ciency displayed by their team has allowed us to produce this work in
the face of many obstacles. Special recognition in this regard is owed to
Joab Okanda, Peter Kamalingin and Wing Lam for showing continuous
commitment to the project. Similarly, we are thankful for the funding

Introduction
This volume discusses aspects required for the advancement of the
BRICS, foremost being infrastructural development and the production
of knowledge relevant to these countries. The book highlights infrastruc-
ture—hard and soft—as the nerve centre of development. Ports, airports,
road and rail networks, are central to economic activity, backed by soft
infrastructure—health, education and capacity development.
The setting up of the New Development Bank (NDB) and subse-
quently the launching of its African Regional Centre in Johannesburg,
South Africa, in August 2017, illustrated the importance that the BRICS
