India-Brazil-South Africa (IBSA) - a new geography of trade and technology cooperation?
Pages 35 – 49

The India-Brazil-South Africa (IBSA) Dialogue Forum, was established in 2003, as a political alliance of three likeminded, democratic, developing countries in order to counterbalance the traditional North-South power asymmetry. The vision of the political leaders, however, goes beyond a lose political union, and aspires South-South cooperation in trade, science and technology. The paper explores what the available evidence suggests regarding the possible depth and outreach of the project.
