Book Launch: The Rise of the BRICS in Africa: The Geopolitics of South-South Relations

A little over a decade ago Africa was being spoken of as the 'lost' or 'hopeless' continent in the media. Now it has some of the fastest growing economies in the world, in large part because of the impacts of a group of large developing countries - the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). In this first book to be written about the BRICS as a collective phenomenon, Carmody reveals how the BRICS powers' engagements with Africa, both individually and collectively, are often contradictory, generating new inequalities and potentialities for development. Crucially, Carmody shows how the geopolitics of the BRICS countries' involvement in Africa is impacted by and impacts upon their international relations more generally, and how the emergence of these economies has begun to alter the very nature of globalization, which is no longer purely a Western-led project. 
This book is out this week and available from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rise-BRICS-Africa-The-Geopolitics/dp/1780326041.

Call for Papers: International Solidarity: Practices, problems, possibilities

What do we mean by ‘international solidarity’ and what role do solidarity groups play domestically and internationally? This one day conference will bring together researchers and practitioners in solidarity groups in Ireland and abroad to discuss these questions. The conference is hosted by the Department of Sociology, Trinity College Dublin.
In an increasingly globalised world, social movements are becoming more transnational. However while research on the more established NGOs and aid agencies has grown in parallel to the growth of transnational movements, solidarity movements - despite their political significance - remain under-researched. This conference aims to close the gap and further research and discussion in this field.
The keynote speaker is Peter Waterman, a long-term activist and researcher into trade union and global solidarity organizations, and author of the recent Recovering Internationalism, Creating the New Global Solidarity.
Cost: 50 euro (waged); 15 euro (unwaged/students)
For more information, and if you would like to participate, please send an abstract (up to 200 words) for individual papers or panel discussions to conference organiser Dr David Landy: dlandy@tcd.ie.
Venue: Trinity College, Dublin
Call for Papers Deadline: Monday, 30 September 2013
Conference date: Friday, 6 December 2013
