520			_a"The emergence of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa on a global stage has upset the dominance of the United States as the worl d's only superpower. But can they chart a path toward a more just globa l economy? This collection, which brings together leading political eco nomists from around the world, argues that the BRICS are actually ampli fying some of the worst features of international capitalism. This boo k aims to fill a gap in studies of the BRICS grouping of countries (Bra zil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). It provides a critical ana lysis of their economies, societies and geopolitical strategies within the framework of a global capitalism that is increasingly predatory, un equal and ecologically self-destructive - no more so than in the BRICS countries themselves. In unprecedented detail and with great innovatio n, the contributors consider theoretical traditions in political econom y as applied to the BRICS, including "sub-imperialism," the World Syste m perspective and dynamics of territorial expansion. Only such an appro ach can interpret the potential for a "brics-from-below" uprising that appears likely to accompany the rise of the BRICS.
