Summary/Abstract |
India has reason to fear Chinese encirclement, while the growing assertiveness and self-confi dence of the PLA is a cause for concern. Head-on confrontation between the two could largely destroy these ancient civilisations, while the prospect for peace could bring prosperity to not only South Asia, but the greater Asian region as a whole. Pushpa R Adhikari asserts that building confi dence and cooperation between all states in the region is vital for its progress and stability.

Summary/Abstract |
Why did the leaders of four very different countries-Brazil, Russia, India, and China-decide to hold a summit in 2009 in Yekaterinburg, thus transforming "the BRICs" from a financial category into a political grouping? I argue that the main driver for the first summit to take place and succeed was to strengthen each member country's international status. The 2009 BRICs summit was successful in that it led to the birth of a political platform during highly unusual international economic and political circumstances. In a global economy in the midst of a recession and widespread uncertainty, the BRICs' relative economic stability and capacity to respond to the crisis was decisive and lent credibility to their call for reform of the international system. The United States' temporarily reduced legitimacy also provided a window of opportunity for emerging powers to act as aspiring guarantors of stability in tomorrow's world. While measureable gains from cooperation and stronger rhetoric that delegitimized the global order did occur in the following years, they were not the primary drivers for the first summit to take place and succeed.
