Beschreibung
“While much has been written about rising powers in world order, the ‘Rise of the Rest’ is a broader and more complex notion – with a wider cast of nations and greater range of foreign policy approaches - that few studies have systematically analyzed. This volume admirably fills this gap with carefully selected cases from around the world.”
Amitav Acharya, Distinguished Professor, American University, Washington DC
“This volume offers a wealth of insight on rising countries in the global south. Collectively, the chapters demonstrate why these countries deserve more scholarly attention – not only in their own regions but globally. This volume is a must-read for anyone who wishes to achieve a more comprehensive – and global – understanding of the drivers of states’ external involvement.”Marijke Breuning, Regents Professor, University of North Texas, USA
“At a time when the International Relations field still suffers from a Western-centered focus, this volume provides the needed and overdue balance to grasp global order and its contemporary challenges. Thought-provoking and highly needed.”
Bahgat Korany, Professor of Political Science, American University in Cairo
"This volume makes invaluable contributions to our understanding of the foreign policies of states beyond the traditional great powers, and of the fundamental—and growing—roles that the Global South plays in international relations."
-Tom Long, Reader in International Relations, University of Warwick
At a time of change in the international system, this book examines how and why nations from the global south have begun to rise in influence, and the probable impact on global governance. The rise of China, India, and other leading states offers a glimpse at a future in which a diverse multipolarity can become the norm. The contributors to this book discuss the prospects for, and the sustainability of, the rise in influence of global south states across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, through the lens of foreign policy analysis and diplomacy.
Jacqueline Braveboy-Wagner is Professor Emeritus of Political Science in the Graduate School of the City University of New York. She is the author of twelve books, past president of the Caribbean Studies Association, and founder of the Global South Caucus of the International Studies Association.
At a time of change in the international system, this book examines how non-traditional leading nations from the Global South have fared to date and what the chances are of their rise to continue. In the second decade of the twenty-first century, the enthusiasm of observers of the international scene about the “rise of the rest” is waning as many countries that were expected to lead the evolving multipolar order are experiencing economic contraction and governance problems. In order to predict further developments, the contributors to this volume focus on the types and sources of the diplomatic strategies that must be executed by rising states if they are to preserve domestic advances as well as gain influence regionally and internationally. Through a comprehensive examination of case studies from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, they show that while there are commonalities among these rising states, unique domestic conditions, values, and traditions impact and predictdiplomatic strategizing and the ability for sustained projection on the international scene.
Goes beyond the usual economically-oriented prognoses & offers analysis of diplomatic strategies in the Global South Elaborates on the linkage between unique domestic conditions, and traditions to gain influence in international affairs Targets a wide audience to increase awareness of the political diplomatic, and economic potential of the regions

“This volume will be useful to scholars by drawing upon a wide range and deep history of concepts to explain the emergence of selected states and societies in the Global South to greater voice and consequence in regional and world political economy and discourse. It will be useful to practitioners of public, business and non- governmental diplomacy because it addresses and samples issues in the changing world dynamics and in their domestic institutional and regional strategic settings. Most of all, the volume will be useful to students at all levels in all regions, because it offers grounded coverage of experiences from their home regions while integrating these with parallel ones worldwide. This masterful collection blends coverage of worldwide particulars with pulsing global and regional dynamics of action and counter-action. It is a call to move beyond regional insularities of scholarship.” (Michael H. Allen, Harvey Wexler Chair in Political Science, Bryn Mawr College, USA)
“Jacqueline Braveboy-Wagner and contributors methodically compose a volume, containing fifteen chapters on various aspects of global south foreign policies and domestic influences, all of which contribute to deepening our understanding of the Rising Global South and its impact on changing world politics. Genuinely international in authorship, stimulating and sometimes provocative in presentation, the book is superbly informative and rewarding. It should be read by all who are interested in foreign policy analysis, in general, and the Global South, in particular.” (Aigul Kulnazarova, Professor of International Relations and International Law, Tama University, Japan)
“This fantastic collection is unique in illustrating the depth of distinctive, clever and incisive diplomatic strategies practised by a range of states, both large and small, across the full breadth of the Global South. By shining a light on the activities of myriad developing countries at the global, regional andsub-regional levels, it offers a convincing corrective to prevailing accounts that privilege the concerns of Western powers and scholarship, and which tend to focus on the most conventionally powerful. It is consequently a crucial addition to the literature on diplomacy, and deserves to be widely read, both in—and also well beyond—the South.” (Matthew Bishop, Senior Lecturer, University of the West Indies, Trinidad and Tobago)
